I am scoring this image a 9 for its creativity. The "angle" at which you shot it is what really sets it off for me. The addition of the sun rays is great. My only objection is that it is dull in color. I'm not sure I would have made this black and white. Nevertheless, it scores high for me.
This shot has some interesting lines... I like that you did it in black and white, and the sun breaks up the image and adds to the composition. The only thing I would change would have been more space below the hook. Show us the load, or show us the hook. Seems kind of stopped there and I want to see further down. Nice placement of the crane in the frame!

Kewl! Lots of right angles. I like the way the sun's flares are starring outwards and especially the way the left hand flare is parallel to the crane's arm - 9.
