i want to thank everyone for their comments. this was my first submission and i see that scathing is an adjective that describes some critiques. nonetheless, the unfavorable comments give me the drive to steadily improve my shots and scores.
I usually dont like photographs of power lines, but this one is actually pretty good. Even though you framed one in the center it doesn't really detract from the overall impression I get. Nice contrast and and dof.
The blacks in the power poles could be a little denser, and it's a shame about the foliage at R. Maybe a vertical composition would have been better. Could you have moved to catch more of that great light at UR?
Hmmm... this is actually a very interesting juxtaposition of the rolling grey clouds against the stark, geometric power lines. I can see why you took the photo, but it doesn't appeal to me very much. It's nice work though.
You seem to have a little bit of compression showing up in your image. Those lines really need to be crisp and clear to deliver the impact of the image. I like the contrast you've set up here, though.
Very nice capture! The clouds and the dark mood work very well in this photo.. the only improvement I see would be to crop the tree out of the right side of the image... good work!
