Great dramatic effect with the black and white. Love the way it is framed with the trees either side. |

interesting composition and good choice of black and white. looks like a difficult exposure - would it be possible to try and recover the burnt out loud highlights? |

Love the cranes, which are becoming the national "bird". I like the B&W treatment, which lends a certain degree of strength to this image. |

Good choice of B+W which seems to add depth to the sky. The trees frame the shot nicely. |

One of my top picks from the first. Love the silhouette and the framing helps since it is irregular and contrasts with the crane booms so well. |

Great use of B&W to bring out the almost fragile detail in the cranes. The turbulent sky adds a lot of movement to the photo. |

Dramatic lighting, but the regular spacing of the three largest cranes makes the composition rather static. You might consider a slightly different vantage point. |

Well done excepting I would have done anything to get the trees out of there. They conflict with the industrial tone and not in a way that enhances for me. |

Very nice in B&W, great lines against the dramatic sky. |

I like how you have made these machines of great strength look very spindly! |

I like the way you have exposed for the clouds and used black and white here. The cranes make an interesting pattern and the trees in silhouette frame the composition nicely. |

Theme - 5
Technical - 4
Composition - 3 Too much of the tree on the left. It is a much larger mass than the cranes, so it tends to be too dominant going all the up to the top of the frame. A little bit at the bottom would be OK. The cranes should be the tallest things in the image I think.
Originality - 3
Overall Impression - 3 |

This is my favorite image, among many very good ones.
The composition stands out, as it took a very good eye to visualize(I'm pretty sure this shot wouldn't have been an obvious choice for most of us). Also effective is the silhouette lighting in B&W. For goodness sakes, even the sky was co-operative!
I can't think of any worthwhile constructive criticism. I'll leave that to someone else. |

I presume this is the same person who did "He's not pulling his weight". What I see here is a masterful repositioning of the cranes into a different but equally strong composition that tells another story - and in B&W this time. Nicely done! |

Nice drama to this shot in B&W. I'd love to see what it looked like in colour in the outtakes. |
