I really enjoy creating something different with drones. I've had the Mavic now for about four weeks and I absolutely love it.

Here are a couple long exposure shots using my original 50 year old Minolta SR-T201 and kit lens shooting Fujifilm Neopan Acros 100 II. Both images were taken just at the end of blue hour.

I like the concept, the processing and the basic composition, David.
The one thing I would do is tweak the composition. You may not have been able to do this, but looking at this I want to move in closer, David, so the left leg of the giant is closer to the left corner, simultaneously giving the dwarf a little more breathing space between the giant's legs, perhaps allowing it to come a little higher into the frame, and possibly magnifying the perspective distortion of the giant. This would bring the top of the giant too close to the top of the frame, but I think you had a bit more width left in your zoom to accommodate this.
If there was any cloud detail to see, an image with that might be interesting as well, the cranes' looming quality and starkness lending themselves to a brooding image. This is not to detract from your image, though.
White borders are preferred by some, but I find them distracting, especially in this case where the giant's legs seem to be amputated.. It's a matter of taste. Hope to see more from you!
It's always difficult to critique someone else's images without a reference image or knowing the location well. Also, a lot depends on what equipment you had at the time, particularly lens. A wider-angle may have allowed a better perspective, and getting lower and looking up more vertically may also have produced a better image... all a bit academic after the event, so to speak. However, if you can re-visit the site maybe try different focal length and changing point of view (i.e. where you stand).
