thats come out pretty well, I'm sure you have had plenty of comments that its cliched but that doesn't mena its a bad picture. I personally would have gone around the post a bit more so you had the two sets of cables coming in at angles, like a Y. Does that make sense?
I really like in-focus/out-of-focus pictures, so maybe this is just my own personal "thing", but the only suggestion that I can give here is that it would have been nice to have gotten the pole more in focus, even if that meant using the macro feature to get the base in focus, and everything else more blurred. Then again, a lot of people don't seem to appreciate that style, so my suggestion is probably bad. Nice coloring on the sky - it's hard to get a rich blue color, yet get the clouds that nice as well, yet still have the pole lit enough to have detail and texture. Good job overall.
This is a good interpretation of this challenge. Good depth of field is difficult to achieve on a shot like this one. I was successful on shots of this nature by setting my camera to macro mode and then using aperture priority to get the smallest aperture possible. Also, if you would step back about a foot from the pole so the the camera lens is not right up against it, you would get the clean focus all the way up... Play with this concept some and see what you think :) See the shot in this challenge called "Power" to get an idea of what I mean by stepping back from the subject a little.. I believe this shot perfectly describes my notes to you...
