The same thought as many of jims apart from the odd one that captures something of interest
Point 1 - The thought is why not stop if you find the scene interesting and take a decent shot.
Point 2 - It has the look of a shot taken by someone busting their crutch to be arty like many of Jims.
Point 3 - Its got the impact of blancmange on a restaurant menu. No composition worth talking about for obvious reasons and technically without looking closely ya sky sucks.
Point 4 - If I mounted a camera on my dogs head timed to go off every thirty seconds and sent him off for a walk he would come back with similar. Would that make him a photographer or an artist? He would be known as Boney the canine wizard with a lens.

Did I mention I do not like it Frank lol
Look everyone has a creative streak somewhere so look inwards and find yours. Do not blindly follow others. Be inspired by others but do not try and reproduce what they do. Develop a Frank image. Gad sir there's a chap on here who merges and mixes snaps makes an awful mess you would not want to follow his lead would you??????

Sorry mate I really cannot say one good thing about this.

It may redeem itself somewhat if we get a chuckle as someone loves the way the elevated road cuts the image in two and the cranes reach into the sky. Ill leave it to others to find something interesting in the painted oil drums and the sand bags. Probably that will be the mass thingy maybe.

So are you saying you don't like it then? Laf

Actually it's great you're honest enough to say what you think, and I really like that you said why. Too often we hear, I Like It, or I Don't Like It, and we're left to wonder why. Ultimately the image is ours and ours alone, but it's always nice to hear what another person, dare I say artist, thinks of our work, and is helpful to know why. Thank you. S-

There's a little too much going on in this scene with no obvious primary subject. It seems you attempted to include absolutely everything, and everything in focus. Construction sites can yield interesting images, but usually only if the image concentrates on particular aspect about or specific element within the scene.

Well, I find myself in solid agreement with BILLY, but I'm sure that ol'' Jim swells with pride at being acknowledged the "inspiration" for this image.
It certainly has every bit of the...er...impact...of the majority of ol' Jim's drive by shots!
I'm sure, Frank, that you'll receive a note of heartfelt thanks from Jim for your honest acknowledgement of his significant influence.
