Your main shot is too confusing for my taste - it's not so much the crane, as it is that I'm not sure what I'm looking at in terms of that framework over everything, the crane, the burned church. I think this is one of those shots that 'thinks' better to the photographer than it ends up looking when printed. Best B.

There was actually four cranes working on it. To of the smaller ones like shown and a huge crane lifting the superstructure.

I think the sky is what makes the picture. That is why I tried to get more of it. I was in the ditch at the side of the highway. If you went up any higher, you lost the sky.
