    I like the picture but I would try a tilted one with the hole building in the frame.
    Good composition.

    Another thing you could do would be to crop the bottom railing and alarm box at the bottom of the frame. You want to eliminate clutter mwink.gif Overall I like it thumb.gif

    Also if your camera supports it and you have the software you should give RAW a try... it is a little more forgiving, and Jpg

    Nice shot Barry but a little too large for my monitor.

    It appears to me that you cut the top of the building off. I would offer the suggestion that, on the re-shoot, you attempt to give the tip a little breathing room or crop well below the top if that better satisfies your intent.
