Actually, my bigger gripe with the picture is the way the headlights hit the truck in front of my car; the eye is more drawn to the brightest spot in the photograph. (Well, and I am pushing my luck with the Rule of Thirds--that was lessened in the print.)
And yes, the robot was an obstruction--since I was so busy fixing it during Brunswick Eruption (something broke in about half of the matches), I didn't have any real time to shoot anything during the event!
