Sculpture by Magnús Tómasson. It´s located by the international airport of Iceland.
It shows a big egg of steel which wing of a jet is breaking out of, like bird breaking out of it's egg.
Thought it be a nice shape to send in the challenge.
Shot it in a dark and boring weather, tried to brighten it and crop it, resized it too.

Hmm. Wonder what it is. Interesting, but not enough contrast. Kind of a blah photo.

A little processing could do wonders. Made a quick edit with Photoshop CS 2.



Used tools like Brightness/Contrast, Curves, Levels, Unsharp Mask and Shadow/Highlight. The image quality isn't exactly great, but with a tool like Neat Image it could be improved some. Now I'll have to give you a 2.

Rodan!
Interesting structure, which really works against you here. I can see how you were trying to use low contrast to emphasis the shape, but the subject is too interesting, my eye demands more information and not finding it, my mind says "bad picture". Sorry :(
