What would have been really cool is to take a picture looking up the crane, but obviously you can't just go running onto a construction site. Maybed taken from different angle or making the crane the focal point instead of just part of the picture. Black and white might have been neat.
I didn't score your shot based on whether your camera was pointed upwards. However, I felt the shot was too 'bland'. The composition wasn't bad but the shot had a flat feel. Please don't take offense.
K, I get the challenge aspect -- considered shooting something similar -- the contrast on this seems flat though -- I also find the composition to be kind of bland -- would it have been possible to get any closer to the construction site?
A different interpretation of "from the ground up". Not the one I think was intended by the challenge. Otherwise an ok photo, but not one that holds my interest very long.
"from the perspective of the ground up." I don't agree with your translation. Putting that aside, your picture looks to much like a snapshot. THe lighting is a bit dark, I feel like I'm looking through tinted glass.
