Water tower built by former Brunswick Industries. When Brunswick left it was painted an ordinary color, but popular demand brought it back in its current state.

I really think this should have placed higher...but then that's just me. Some of the comments are ridiculous and not very enlightened...what are people's problems with "clutter"...life is cluttered...I really loved this photo," clutter" and all...keep up the great work!
A bit overexposed, but funny. I think that cropping this to remove everything left of the left curb would have reduced the clutter and improved the image.
Very cool concept here. Yet the visual grounding is distracting due to the business of it. Perhaps go for a closer shot of the upper section of the water tower. That with the blue background would have been truely minimalist.
As it stands... Cool idea.. Just needs to be developed a bit further.
I don't know what it is about this picture but I love it...for some reason it has a really cool, hep, mid century feel to it in my biased opinion ( I love all things that smack of mid-centuryishness)...maybe it's the 8 ball? Nice, clean, simple.
Cool. Could do without the neighborhood, very distracting. Perhaps a shot taken at the base of the tower with the 8 in a lower corner with a plane or clouds going by?
If your going to have a water tower?, you might as well make it interesting. I think taking out all the houses and just having the tower with the blue background of the sky would have been more powerful. 5
thats pretty unusual, i think this would have been better if you could have blocked out all the other distractions, but i can plainly see that the 8 ball is the subject so i'll give you an 8 for quality and coolness
this is a cool shot of what i believe is a very cool water tower....however imo it just doesnt seem to be minamilistic with all the other things going on
Must be nice living that close to a pool hall. I think I would have liked it more in a minimal fashion if it was cropped so it looked like a 8 ball on a tee. Just my option, for what it is worth. Hope it does well for you
Great photograph. Slightly mad, love the composition, especially the relative positioning of those cars; and the tonal range throughout - even the blown post. Nice shooting indeed.
That's a great subject and a great title! The sky is beautiful and the photo is crisp. I think the photo would have been a lot stronger if the road and houses were not included. I think it would look fine cropped this way. I do find the line of clouds interesting, and I think maybe getting a bit closer might have moved the houses out of the photo and the clouds could have been included. Finally, you might consider moving the subject nearer the corner of the photo. About eight or nine times out of ten the subject is better off-center. (Hope you forgive me if you already know all this.)
if all that clutter at the bottom had been cropped and just the sky and pole and ball then I would have voted it a 10...too much distracting at the bottom to be minimalism
