Ioana,
Thanks for your comment. If it wasn't for this challenge, I wouldn't have come up with the idea!

Abstract,
I haven't recomposed the shot, but I did increase the saturation to bring out the blue of the sky, and reposted. It certainly makes for an improvement!

This is my favorite one of your entries. A world renowned landmark sitting almost in the shaddow of a common bollard - shows that everything is relative.

dvd, i would have bollard covering only one third (may be even less) of the frame. step back a little bit, get a bit more background (getting more in-focus would be icing on the cake) and get blue colors in the sky with polarizer...that will bring life to this nice conceptual shot. just my 2 cents. -Abstract
