Would you hang this picture up in your house? That question being answered why take a picture of a telephone pole yes it is from the ground up but that is about it. Dosen't do anything for me.
A telegraph pole isn't the most interesting of subjects. It looks like you've used an internal flash here, which is ok as long as you know what it's limits are. The flash has barely reached the top of the pole where the main interest of the photo lies. If your flash did fully reach the top of the pole, it may have been better to zoom in to eliminate the brightness at the bottom.
I like the composition. Glad you didn't try to match the power lines to the edge of the frame. The fact that it was done at nighttime really sets it apart from other telephone pole photos and makes it a bit less busy. I think I'd like to see it in black and white though. The odd greenish cast at the bottom and the browner elements on top detract a bit.
You need some lighting at the top of the pole. As it is, your flash is not designed for that distance and so the bottom is washed out with too much light, while the top lies in darkness.
This is a good interpreation of the challenge. I think a day time shot would have appealed a little more to me. The flash is focusing the attention on the bottom part of this pole and distracting a little from its height....
I think the flash took away from this picture.. perhaps a longer exposure instead would have been of better benefit. On the other hand, if your camera can't do that... not a bad job done..
