composition question, please help

Hey, everyone,

My last post was completely trashed for poor composition. So just throwing these out there for your opinions. Quality is not the best, had to use the old 600D for reach. Sorry for that.

So version 1 is basically the original with the two workers brightened and everything else desaturated. Trying to isolate the subject...

Version 6.5 and 7 are cropped with rule of thirds. And a bit of photoshop to remove some distractions.

The only difference between 6.5 and 7 is the desaturated red boxes on the roof.
With the red is a little distracting from the worker.
But without it is just too bleak. Not sure what to do.

Any opinions or critiques are welcome!

Thanks

Thanks for the advise!
I really wanted the electric lines out of the shot.
Unfortunately this was taken from my apartment building. Any further right is off the balcony!

The balcony issue does rather limit your composition options! As a work-around, I'd just suggest you put a strong vignette around the scaffolder to try to separate him from the rest of the very busy photo.
