 Rotate, crop, levels, brightness/contrast, unsharp mask.

I googled water towers and was amazed at the information available. I was surprised to find that a water tower will normally hold a day's worth of water for the whole community.

This was a bit difficult to crop. The lines were off just enough to look crooked, rotating seemed to give a bit more level feel to the image.

Hello from the Critique Club!

First off, let me say congratulations on your highest scoring photo so far!

The perspective of this shot is wonderful and meets the challenge perfectly. You achieved great symmetry in this shot and all the support cables provide a lot of interesting visual lines.

There is very little here that I can be critical about. However, I do find that the lighting is a bit harsh for my taste. Bumping down the brightness a bit would help with this as well as make the sky a slightly deeper shade of blue. In fact, adding a little more blue to the entire picture may make it just that much more dramatic.

So, did you have to break through a fence or something to get this close? ;-)
