Reason
Important illustration of the effort needed to drain the floods on the Somerset Levels. The movement of the water shows the pumps were working in horrendous weather conditions.

  • The pole on the left was a new pile being driven into the bank as part of it had collapsed with the weight of the pumps. There were workmen and lorries all over the place and for safety reasons stopping access to the site.— Rod talk 06:33, 9 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • That wasn't the question though. The question was whether there was anything on the right of the frame that stopped you from including it in the photo. I agree with Crisco, the composition seems slightly unbalanced to me. I think that rotating to the right to avoid cutting the right-most pipe off and so that the pole on the left was just out of frame would have been better. Just my opinion though, I know it's not always easy to get the perfect view when access is limited. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 10:23, 9 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
