This was an exhausting hike, and at the first spot where you could get a good view of the mountains in Minnewaska State Park in New York State the wires were the foreground view.

I get the idea of what you were trying to convey:) but the image seems to be relying to much on the title. Would this image have worked better if the power lines were more the fore front? a bit more saturation as well for deeper greens... a greater contrast. would like to know where this is:) Hope this helped, good luck.
i wouldn't have known you were hiking if you didn't include the rest of the scenery unfortunatly the rest of the scenery destracted me from the powerlines......too much going on in the photo.
I am sorry, but without your long title this would not really portray feeling of surprise. I can see it is taken on a cloudy day since your sky appears dull grey. You could boost the colours a little - mainly the red and yellow shades in the rocks and dry leaves to liven it up. It could be slightly sharper as well.
