This image initially grabs the viewer's attention because of the colour. That yellow creates impact and atmosphere. It gives the impression that a huge electrical storm is about to begin, or one has just passed, which fits in well with the challenge. The clouds create a three dimensional feel as they contrast against the lighter parts of the sky and therefore give the image depth.
The pylon is perfectly placed compositionally speaking and the lines leading from top left to bottom right give movement and help lead the eye through the image.
The silhouette of both the pylon and the landscape against the yellow background creates drama.
There is a little noise in the sky but personally speaking I don't mind noise. Some have complained about over sharpening, but to me it's so minute that it doesn't detract from the overall image.
A really dramatic image of an everyday scene. Well done.
shame about the noise. a pass through NI would have definitely improved this. still, having said that, I love the tones and it's a very solid composition as well as fitting the challenge perfectly. 8
