Urban Landscape 19-01.1

Markku, I prefer this one (compared to the wide-angle / wider crop version). The wooden poles seem to approach from both sides - almost as if they are planning an attack on the crane hiding beyond the mound.

Wolfgang, Good to know your opinion, my personal preference as well. That second version was shot a couple days later with my camera on tripod, lifted high up by my right hand while mobile phone with remote control app in my left hand in hope to get more of that crane exposed. Unfortunately it was moved further away so my effort was not paying off. Because of the evening sun illuminating foreground I opted this composition. This it how sometimes compromises needed...

Many thanks for your quick reply. I know as well such situations: it can be pretty frustrating when you're forced to compromises... And: at least when I try to further improve a good photo or frame, I usually fail... still, I keep trying... every now and then, the effort pays off.
