Construction? No problem! We're rebuilding our house for the last 20 years. Inside or out, there's construction everywhere, so if you're looking for a location, just come and visit me LOL

You're just looking for help with the construction!

Having looked at the decisions pictures, I could have entered the same into that and called it "decision to build a building".
Lots more cranes around London at the moment - will have to look for some interesting shots. Oh - and demolition if existing structures is part of the construction process, but perhaps not the most likely to score well (if it is obviously demolition, not construction). |
Yes, but in the spirit of the Decisions challenge, a lot of folks will mark you down because the cranes aren't really Constructing anything right then. They just move things around. |

I really do think the voters are getting way to picky on these wide open challenges. Cranes are very obviously connected with construction, as are bricks, sand, hard hats, gloves, low cut jeans revealing 'builders bum'.
I just hope we dont get 350 building/construction site images to vote on, because that will be DULL in the extreme, even more so than 'Decision'.

| Seems that the topics are restricting creativity rather than allowing for creativity if the voters are getting too picky. |

My question is how to get a flower, birds and water in a construction site image? Especially something that I can dunk in water.

My question is..... Would a spider building a web pass as construction? Or is this limited to HUMAN construction?

Just by the way the challenge is worded this may not be received very well. |

Be aware of sand and dust. My 18-70 needed some good cleaning after I entered several construction sites. Got some sand in the zooming mechanics, the sound was horrible. Zooooomm SCHRRRRRIITTTZZZZ.

Easy! Place a construction worker's hardhat upside down in a bed of flowers, fill with water then throw the bird in to get a nice splash :)
Title it something like 'Constructing a winner' and there is no way people can say that it's off-topic!

The guys are having a glass to celebrate the foundation and it starts to rain. Rain drops in to their glasses are indeed a magnificent sight. Someone there has a camera. The shot wins.
edit:typo!

My daughter was very creative in her drawings, when she was about 4 years old. I just love to watch her draw, because she never lifted her pencil from the paper and all was connected.
All that changed when she entered school, because suddenly a roof wasn't supposed to be blue and a house was supposed to be a square and it hurt me watching her loosing that beautiful creativity she once had.
That's what I see happening here too. Photographers loosing their own identity because they want to please 'the voters', ending up eventually with probably technically 'nice' photo's, but oh so dull to look at.
To the photographers: "To be different is always essential for being noticed" and to the voters: "please don't kill creativity, there isn't enough of that as it is in this world".
