the 2nd shot of this tower i have submitted - the first was taken with a kodak dx3700 (satan... )
this is with the sigma 105mm f:2.8 EX DG macro lens - and very minimal edits. the white BG is a result of correct exposure on the tower, and a very snowy cloudy day. i chose a few minutes when it stopped snowing to snap the shot. i admire this thing every day... it is located behind where i work, and i use it regularly to help folks find our store. it was constructed in 1893 as a watch tower. the building i work in is part of the old miltary complex, and used to be a hay barn.

The composition is a little uninteresting here - much too centred - and you have provided no context for viewers to place the landmark in. I think this might have been better if you had included some of the surrounding landscape so as to give that context. Anyway, it's still a solid attempt - focus etc is good. Best of luck.
Could use 1/2 to 1 stop more exposre - a bit washed out, especially the roof against the sky. A bit dull composition wise - just a pic of a tower. It 'says' nothing.
