No, just make sure you do in future or your fellow competitors will start heating up the tar and emptying their pillows of feathers.

It’s pretty boring here in the bunker too.
So boring we sent one of the interns down to the village for twenty Rothmans and a box of matches.
“What if they haven’t got Rothmans?”
“Oh, get us anything.”
So he came back with two pork pies and a bag of Werther’s Originals …

Claiming 3 points, but I’m not sure it these are classed as tower cranes. They are indeed cranes, and they are indeed towers.
This is the new bridge over the River Tay in Perth. Part of the Cross Link Project to ease traffic through Perth. Now that it is almost complete, the planning permissions for increasing housing in the village of Scone (Scoon, NOT Scone) are being accepted

Maybe point it out for the judges - they tend to need a lie in on a Sunday morning having worked so hard the week before 
one of them doesn’t 
Sorry to tell you but the two cranes seen in your video are not tower cranes.
This is a rather more detailed than necessary guide to types of tower cranes, their construction and use:
One relevant paragraph that may help:
“Crane” in this standard refers to “tower cranes,” which are lifting machines consisting of a tower with a superstructure that rotates and includes a load, luffing boom, or jib, and on some cranes, a counterjib extending in the opposite direction to the load, luffing boom, or jib.
The structure on the far bank in your video does not have a rotating jib or similar, neither does the crane in the foreground which is a crawler crane:
A crawler crane is a type of crane that is designed for stability, mobility, and lifting heavy loads, particularly on sites with uneven or rough terrain. It features an upper carriage with a control cabin, engine, boom, counterweights, and lifting mechanisms, and this upper carriage is mounted on a crawler undercarriage.
So your entry is rejected entirely and you are free to resubmit a more appropriate image.
HES property 3 points - despite the atrocious spelling of “lake” throughout your entry
