The roof at Marie Callendar's Restaurant.
Once again, more of a personal challenge, as I have tried to shoot this roof/chimney for a couple years now, but never had the hardware to do so.
ISO1600 at 1/15sec hand-held, no noise reduction in post-processing. Almost a full crop.

I think there are too much dark sky in this pic. Something to up right, or instead of it, a different and closer composition.

It's a bit distracting how there is almost no empty space above the chimney and how the lowest part of the chimney isn't included in it's interity.
Zooming away slightly or simply backing off would have been nice here.

Aside from these minor points I must say it's not really an interesting photograph to look at. Yes, we have those rooftiles forming a sort of a texture and various bricks in the chimney but those things alone most surely don't add up to a good photograph.

The obvious thing to add to this picture would of course be a person, either climbing the chimney or looking at it in from the roof. Of course it would have been a bit tricky setting this up but my point here is that it's not interesting enough photo as it currently is.
Or perhaps I should ask you, do you find it to be an interesting photograph? And if so, why? And if not, how would you improve it?
(It's not that it matters terribly much whether you like your photograph or not but what really matters is WHY you like it or dislike it.)

(I'm terribly sorry if I'm stating the obvious truth or if it sounds like I'm patronizing. Most surely not my intention.)
