Yes. The viewpoint with the corner of the building creating a diamond form of the structure, lifts everything. The height and angle let us look into the structures as well.
We are off to a good start and I think we will see more from this site as the building rises.
Nice title too.

I don't like white or colored vignettes. Sometimes I'll add a dark vignette if I think it helps move the eye to a subject but when I do this I use so little that I hope the viewer isn't aware that a vignette has been used. In a nutshell, I much prefer the first.
Here the horses feel like the subject. Would you consider making them more prominent by cropping nearly 1/3 off the bottom? Looking at this large on my screen with a slice taken off the bottom, the snow is still clearly seen and the horses have a stronger presence. -
Nice geometrical lines and shapes made with those shadows !
-
Nicely captured shot.
Cleaning that many windows must seem like a never-ending job!
I hope they are well paid ! -
Why do photos have to be rectangular? We can make sensors in any shape we want. But because we make circular lenses, we only use part of their light gathering area and every photo ends up in a rectangular frame these days — even photos vignetted as above. You could make the same observation about painting: nearly every artist feels obliged by convention to fill a rectangle of canvas, whatever the subject material. People who work in 3-D are not so constrained: think of London’s Albert Hall or the Pantheon in Rome, not to mention the designs of Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Hundertwasser, Gaudi, or the architect of the “Spiderman” building above.

No, although that would be a good idea.
But it would require me (or at least a camera) on top of that 45m tower crane for a prolonged period of time.
Or me going back up there regularly for a new photo, exactly framed like the previous one(s).Not my modus operandi.
I just visited that construction site on irregular moments and photographed what was on display on those days.
There was always something interesting. -
An apology. I wont be able to make further responses here for a week or so. I'll be traveling with my phone away for communications.

I went for the 'Petzal' look. GIMP: lens distortion (circular squeezed to elliptical then cropped), slight vignette and three doses of USM at various radii in a feathered elliptical selection:
Pardon the ellipses, I know that a Petzval lens is round, call it artistic license ...
-
Nice, but you've cut the top off the tree.

It is very uninteresting tree (at least in current image context) and doesn't suffer from cutting in any way :)
-
It's an uninteresting photo too. I've done better !!! 😁
-
An intriguing shot that could likely be from a drone or a construction crane so I'm suspecting the latter which makes it more interesting. The nested rectangles in grays and whites, interrrupted with splashes of bright red and small streaks of green is a visual puzzle to enjoy. Nice capture. I hope the construction folks appreciate the art embedded in the documentation.

Interesting and very different boat abstracts. The first captures our attention with primary colors and the second with intricate detail. What they share (besides the boat origin) is flow and lines with different directionalities. Nice pair.

Nice set of end-of-day photos that show a lovely warm light fading to dark in a spectacular setting. The first and third are my favorites, the first for its broad scope (I'm a big-scene junkie) and the third for its unusual angle (I want to stay there! ). The last is nice too but it's a little dark to make out the road easily (I might raise the shadows a bit for easier accessibility even though that might not be quite realistic).
-
I think it's a better photo than most of ya'll are giving it credit for. It needs a bit of editing/cropping and perhaps might benefit from some adventurous processing. I'm away from a computer now but since Alan has allowed it, I might give it a try when I get home. I'd envision some color work to clarify and brighten the oranges and greens, a crop to bring the horses closer, and perhaps a different kind of white vignette, more like a painting boundary. It looks more like a painter's scene than a photographer's scene, so moving in that direction might be fun.

Gee that is a lot of geometry harvested from a small insignificant household object! The ability to find/capture art in unlikely places is a gift. Nicely spotted, framed, and captured.

In some ways this is similar to Rich's offering, but more subtle. It's a quite ordinary scene of plants growing along a wall, with no people, animals, or action to bring extra interest or excitement. But the photographer's choice of angle makes the perspective itself a compositional element, because the plants are reaching out against the directionality of the visual flow, creating visual tension that forces us to look more than a moment. Well spotted and utilized.

Very nice catch! Are they washing the windows? Painting the building? The building itself would make an interesting photo but these two mysterious figures crawling up it make this very compelling. The black indented triangles add to the interest.
