Excellent lighting/adjustment to hide the cross in the trees and isolate the figure, adding a layer of complexity the composition, in addition to the subject.

Intricate Versus Lines

Excellent contrast in archtectural styles; If I'd been smart enough to take this I'd probably have titled it Yin/Yang

Interesting out-of-the-box border effect works pretty well with your colorful subject.

La Grua de Piedra

As an alternative to the earlier suggestions, you could also try cropping it to a vertical 2:1 panoramic, leaving the full bench to the left, but trimming off the partial one; this leaves the crane centered, but maybe more "appropriately." I also like the coloring, but would probably go with a slightly more orange-y tone.

I think cranes are interesting, and take a lot of pictures of different kinds myself. Never seen one quite like this -- thanks for sharing : )

In this particular case, I think a deeper DOF to keep all the stones in focus would work better.

This looks like the kind of edgy, obliquely-referenced image I'd submit, even though I'd know in advance it would probably get hammered ...

(I'm SO sorry, I just HAD to ...)
