Thanks for your comments, both good ideas that I didn't think of... maybe next time. Liz

Good colours, contrast and sharpness but in my opinon the composition is not as good as it could be.

I enjoy the depth of field and feather detail, though this cool focus might take the image's message further away from communication

That's a power line and a transformer, not a phone line.

Nice photo, though.

acctually thats an electrical transformer not a phone line.... even then the birds are the subject not the lines of communication.... good job keeping the sky blue though
