Love the POV here Susan for this massive crane. It shows the power and strength.. #1509314

Don't get hurt getting these type of captures in a hard hat zone. Nice perspective in this EOD. Agree with Brian in the power and strength. #10518478

Thank you, Brian and Emile. I get these shots on the weekend when no one's around and I never crawl under the fence. :) I think this crane operator likes to leave it "just so" for people like me to admire his art, or maybe her art. #10519010

Thank you very much, Becky and Bobby.

Bobby, you should hop in the cab, park it just so, and have fun with your camera. You will most assuredly have an awesome sky for the background! #10526981

Fantastic composition and detail, Susan! #10528403

This is wonderful, Susan! (I liked the other you did of this crane, too). I would get cut or bruised just walking anywhere near such a massive machine! Terrific POV, clarity, and color! #10528670

Awesome pov and I love the design elements and the way they fill the frame. Perfect! #10529405

Thank you, Terry, Thomas and Connie.

This crane caught my eye when I was scavenging for leading lines for an MT contest. The crane is in use at a construction site so it's parked different ways on different days and the sky is always changing. #10536902
