Okay okay okay! On second look, you've forced me to bump you to a 7. Sheeeeesh. By the way, is that a Chernobyl caterpillar? Good luck!

First of all, let me say -- I LIKE IT>

The sky is very dramatic, and the angle you chose to shoot at really adds some *oompf* to the shot. The blacks are very clean and it sets up a nice contrast (thus, meeting the challenge very well).

Compositionally, after studying this for a couple of days, I think you might be right about the centered composition. I tried imagining it in the lower left and right corners, but it just doesn't feel balanced that way.

Now, when I look at this, had I voted in this challenge, I think I would have given it a 7 or higher. Technically, it is executed to perfection (or as close as we can be), but perhaps the lack of "emotion" in the shot hurt it some. There is not much there that the viewer can connect on, especially in a global market. If a person if familiar with this area, it may evoke emotions. Or if they happen to have an affinity for lampposts, but for the average viewer, it is technically well-done shot of an inanimate object.

Good work, and best to you in future challenges.
