This is a monster .

It looked better when I took it lol, any ideas on how I could approach this to make it more interesting ?

I think you need some sense of scale in there. It's probably huge but you can't tell that.

cheers

This any better ? although I still feel it's uninteresting as a subject in picture form, but in real life it is immense.

There no depth to it, how can I get depth

It's better in that you can tell it's pretty big. I've never seen it in reality of course, but try different angles and viewpoints, maybe wait for better lighting either early morning or late evening?

It's never easy getting the best out of a subject like this and there's no magic formula. But you'll know when you've got the shot you want. Just keep at it. I don't suppose there's any chance they'd let you take shots within the yard? Might be worth asking.

Might work better with change of angle, but as above says, need to get in close.
