I find the pole very distracting in this picture I realise from the title it is ment to be teh focal point of the picture but dark and not a very interesting shape.
Interesting idea, but I'm not sure it works here. Maybe if the "view" were in focus, with the urban stuff more out of focus? Still, good way of using all that obnoxious wiring to your advantage.
The idea is okay, the sunlight in the background contrasting with the shade in the foreground is a good touch. Somehow it comes over a little too busy though.
