Of course standard must be high lah. Else how to improve?
Cropping the crane away? Thought through that before, and decided against it. Why? Cos the perspective with that crane away will be rather formulistic, with a clean background and something of interest in one part of the frame. Like to have something of distinctive irritation to make the whole frame uncomfortable. So, while the treatment of the sky may be similar to that of the tree shot I'd posted quite sometime back (same vignette effect too, which I think gives a big plus to the frame), the composition is purposely done to disturb the perspective. Furthermore, the crane to the left offer a stepwise upwards perspective, that is again tilted for discomfort. *Geesh! Why am I even explaining!?*
It's a bin, cos I keep on throwing incoherent ideas into it. It's just like words I scribble on pieces of paper, which I feel disappointed that it doesn't follow a certain theme I had in mind, crumble it up, and throw into the bin. Those words alone may be statements, may be groans, may express jubilant or sorrow. They are not trash, but I still bin them after all. And this is my bin. Please don't associate bin with just worthless junk. They may be something of value, just that they don't contribute to whatever I really wanted to do at this point in time. Get it?
