Good use of negative space. Kind of dull to look at.

This is a nice crisp silhouette - I really like the detail. However, I think this image could somehow use a little bit more punch. I am not sure how, because you wouldn't want to take away the negative space! Maybe a more appealing background sky color?

I think I would have been tempted to crop off the building on the bottom so just the tank was featured. Still it shows negative space well.

Imho had you cropped this slightly differently, it would have had greater impact. Beautiful tones.

A bit dark, and if you had moved the camera a bit more to the right, so as the 'negative space' on the left weren't there.... and it were more so on the right, it would have more relevance.

I feel this is a bit heavy on one side, maybe could have been better composed.

This does it for me, although on the monitor I'm using at the moment it appears a tad too dark.
Good work. Superb composition.

Thanks, King. Taste is a subjective thing, it looks like we're in the minority on this one. Personally, I like the composition on this photo, although I hear the comments about the darkness.

For what it's worth, I just calibrated my monitor, and it looks fairly well balanced to me. The sun was *just* coming up, so it's a dark scene, naturally.

Oh well—this just inspires me to go out and take more pictures!

Cold...dark...bleak...lonely. Great elements in this industrial shot.
