This is my post to those of which stated that these are not phonelines but are actually powerlines: You are 1/2 correct, here in rural Illinois the power and phone lines are on the same pole! If you looked closer at the image you would have seen that there are 4 powerlines and then lower on the pole is a crossbar... that holds the phonelines. Cropping the top of the first pole off, above the phonelines would have created an off-balance appearance to the rest of the photo. I did expect an avg. score on this image and challenge (as it is my first) and that is what I got.
Thanks to all who made helpful comments, it at least lets me learn what to fix and how to take a better photograph. |
