I see the photographer's comments now. You cropped from the left?! Why? If you cropped from the right, the negative space would have a totally different meaning. The crane would have somewhere to fly to. The effectiveness of this, of course, depends on what's there in the cropped part of the image.

Nice contrasts. If only the crane was flying towards the negative space instead from it.
