I was bored so thought I would share a photo I took of the Finnieston Crane a few weeks ago.

Hmmm, I forgot the image was that big.

Fwiw, the reduction would be better had it been reflected in the actual size of the image (in pixles), not just in jpeg artifacts.
As for the pic itself; I think the subject is pretty cool, but the photo itself is lacking in composition and interest factor. I'm not really sure how you could improve it as a whole, but maybe some serious cropping/chopping would help. Panning around the hueg thing, I find some of the individual parts more interesting than viewing it as a whole; and the resolution clearly permits cropping. Example crop attached.
