I was inspired by the images here

and thought I would have a crack at photographing one. Hope you like it.

It would be tempting to crop the left side removing the building. The right side with the ladders is the best bit anyway so you wouldn't be losing anything.
A shot, perhaps at a different time of day, concentrating on the ladders & shadows could be very effective.
I wonder why you used iso400 & f14 - you didn't need either & f14 is probably outside the range of best lens performance.

Regards, Ian.

Great range of tones. I agree with Ian a right hand or even top right crop would improve structure.

Weird, our gas holders are always empty these days: I used to like it when they went and down!

Ian, Old age and forgetting to check the camera settings properly is the answer to your question!.


Interesting ideas with the cropping fellas I`ll have a go.
Thanks for comments.
Cliff.

I like the repeating lines, especially as they follow the rounded contour. Almost like a pencil sketch.

If I could shoot it, I would zoom in to crop out building and sky to just fill the view with rectangles.
