 Tower Crane facilitates the building of a new office block. Impossible to create a 2D right angle without a helicopter but it won't work without two right angles. Tried shooting from many angles but it lies in a built up area. The late afternoon sun produces a good light on the cantelever against the unusually cloudless blue sky.

Good idea and subject but you could have shot it from a different angle so that the visual representation reinforced the knowledge that this is a 90 degree angle. In the photo it seems to be an obtuse angle. The other horizontal lines are leaning as well (light poles and building). I gave a decent score for your creative idea - 6

To me the bottom 2/3 detracts from the top (object) of the photo. I probably would have cropped it.

Bottom heavy. You look at the tower but can't help but be distracted by the building. Showing too much sky , your eyes are automatically lead to the building. Maybe if the piece was cropped higher it would improve it a lot.

I think this shot could have been a lot better if you had reframed it. Now, there are to many distractions. You could try to crop it a bit tighter right and bottom to remove the lamp posts and tree. I would also like to see a bit more space to the left of the crane. I gave it a 2.

Should have cropped out the lights on the bottom. The colors are bad... try using Levels in Photoshop, etc.

I would have liked to see what this looked like with just the crane and not the building/lights below. I'm sure that couldn't be helped though. Nice job!
