As long as the building is centred in your shot and identifiable as a tall building.
We dont expect people to get up close but at the same time a shot with a spec in the distance wouldnt be eligible.

Thank you both, idea scrapped, found another but too far to travel for just one bonus point.

I actually got up at 3:30 this morning to drive down and get this while it was quite so it wouldn’t be classed as congested.

With an architectural height of 140 metres (459 ft) and 40 floors, West Tower is the tallest building in Liverpool. Nationwide, it is ranked at joint 38th tallest in the United Kingdom but is the tallest in the country outside of Greater ...

Solar Farm around 150 acres
Taken 28/7 Wymeswold solar farm, Leicestershire
Not the best day for flying, low cloud, drizzle and windy.
Kept getting constant high wind warnings, attitude warnings and my little Mavic Air was really struggling to hold position without input from me.
Glad to get down

I’m guessing the train is on the wrong bit of railway for a bonus point?!
