 Here in the Phx. metro area, we have so much construction one does not have to go far to find it.
I didn't want a 'static' pic. I wanted movement. So, setting the camera on shutter priority at 1/30 sec. and using a 200mm lens I figured for some blur. The VR of the lens helps steady the hand.
POST edit: more red and yellow. less brightness and more contrast. that's it.
Out of 400 pic's that I took - this is my favorite. If all was right with the world, I would have had the 'bucket' closer to, but not at, the center. Oh well.

The image was really too blurry. I didn't see any part of it focused. Either you shook the camera or your shutter was too slow. Try locking focus before taking the picture.

Cool! A lot of movement got captured and the light is nice as well as the composition.

I like the idea here, but it looks a little *too* blurred to me. It also doesn't look level. 7 for the shot -1 for a little too much blur for my liking and the tilt.

Nothing is really in focus. Looks like you tried to make the bucket in focus.

a dynamic shot and manages to carry off the blurry image well

Really good idea, I just wish that something in the shot wasn't moving.
