Something different like the challenge asked for, dont expect the DPC lot to like this very much. The original was pretty dull, I like this version better. 4.8 maybe scrape a 5.1?

ah 4.6! my prediction of 4.8 > 5.1 was a bit off! Never mind, thanks for the comments (well most of them!). Pleasing to see that not everybody on this site wear blinkers.
I am so tired of photos that have been neat imaged to a point where they look like a shot taken on Mars,(but of course I use it too) that this image, with lots of noise, (that works too) awakens in me a desire to stop sanitizing my work to garner votes and just put my photos out there ... thank you...

I like the idea you are going for with the noise, but I find the color cast a little distracting. Also, the foreground doesn't really add much for me. I might have liked it more if you had tilted your lense up a little more.
Don't like the grain, the tones are alright and the composition is a bit uninspiring. The comp might have been better with the camera tilted up so that the bottom was just below the power poles and included more sky.
