I prefer without. I find the mast distracting especially as it isn't immediately obvious what it is.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Definately the first pic.
I find the mast draws my eye to it and away from the chinook.

I like it with the mast and I would be somewhat alarmed if a Chinook ever came that close to the top of my mast

Without the mast for me. I think it makes the image too cluttered.

No mast for me too. If it was a bit smaller maybe, but that thing is enormous

I can see what you were trying to do and the second one's good, but the uncluttered appearance of no.1 is the better photo.

IMG]I felt that the mast added drama by emphasising the proximity of the chinook, but it has been suggested it is distracting.
Which of the two do you prefer?
