What do you think?

Looks like a partial view of a giant yellow mechanical spider / strider device, probably alien in orgin and contain advanced weaponry.

I like it because it could be a number of things and nothing really puts it into context, except your description of the construction site.

I like the bold colours. :)

Dunno though, something doesnt' sit quite right with me about this photo. It's intruiging, but not very interesting, if that makes sense? Probably needs something extra to add a bit of context.

Yeah, mechanical alien spider/man/machine cyborg thing for sure.

GC, I agree with Des. The colours are bold and work well togetrher. However the image does lack a little interest. Maybe if there had been something going on under the golden arch to add more interest. The sky, clouds and arch make a great background, it just seems to be lacking a foreground point of interest.

Cheers

Thanks for the comments :)

Yes, I think I agree there's something missing from this pic. But for some reason I keep looking at it. I think it's the clouds.

Makes sense. That exactly how I feel about it too. :)

I think the bit that's missing is the tip of the arm ending inside the frame. That would make it a compelling picture.

Cheers
