Judge’s comments
Image does what the title says, not a lot of colourNeeds a boat or a kayak – break the line with a duck?

Judge’s comments
Looks like somewhere like Blists Hill, it is not a portrait but is a record of the processThe expanse of all that concrete on the floor right and the black on the left are distracting.
Suggest making it a square by cropping and this will make the image ‘bigger’
