 It's really hard to take a nice picture of construction.

A few people have mentioned the "selective desaturation" and some have questioned whether it is basic editing. YES it is basic editing.

I desaturated the entire image about 16% (in PSP). I then upped the saturation a bit more. There is practically no colour in the gravel and concrete building anyway, the yellow stands out against all that greyness. And there are other colours in the photo if you look.

Interesting image, but the angle could be better if it were more to the right - especially if it didn't clip the edge of the bucket off.

the background evokes a different feel to that of the CAT - I like that contrast and the pop of color here and there.

Other than the crop being a touch tight on the right, I like this. Nice combination of textures and colors.
