    An area under construction. That's it. Definitely needs some sort of context to be more.

    Thanks bdcolen - would captions complete the story or what else do the photos need?

    Well captions would certainly explain what's going on. And I suspect that with captions, you'd really only need three or four images to tell your story. Unfortunately I don't really need what more the photos need because I don't know what the story is.

    They would be improved by a point of interest that is not achieved by tilting the shots left and right. Looking at road barriers or storefronts or the two combined does not make it interesting to the general public, even with the captions and explanation.

    They tell me you were bored and simply looking for interesting shots and angles on a variety of objects. I don't see them telling any story other than "construction".

    Now if you had the camera in one spot and took a shot with regular frequency of the same area/object, that might tell a story of the subject matter.

    Not trying to be hard on the C&C, but that's what I get from the series...
