 Inspired by the Monty Python song... as much imagination as a caravan site. Sadly I don't have a caravan site to hand.

I will probably get hammered for not spending 24 hours setting up something spectacular like everyone else but there you go...

Thanks for your thoughts - Perhaps a little more could have gone from the right, I was aiming for those magic thirds but hey ho!

Fair comment on the lamp posts but given that this was a basic editing challenge there was not much I could do about them!

Thanks for commenting. :o)

You beat me, and my shot was of a helicopter in flight (motivational)! I have to agree about the angles and textures, and to crop a bit more on the right - my "guess" would be to just lose the two ground poles (the rightmost one "has its back to the subject"). I also find the light poles on top of the structure a distraction.

I like the strong line and all the textures here. I might have cropped tighter on the right. One thing that i still don't know how I feel about is different blues in the border (or maybe that's how the border shows up on my screen).

Like the photo, set up and layout but the caption doesn't really de-motivate me.
