I really like the idea. It's kind of a traditional take on the word, but it's presented in such an unconventional way. I feel like there's a bit too much going on, with the structure of the tower, the clouds and the trees. I think the trees and the clouds take away from the electricity idea.
I like the photo a lot. Enough that I want to give it a 10. But, your chosen title just kind of, well, frankly it ticks me off for some reason. I know we're here to vote on photos, not titles. But think of it like this. If the Mona Lisa were named 'Sorta chubby lady smirking a weak smile while people for centuries wonder why' - I don't think it would be as popular a work of art as it is today.
Are you sure this is basic editing? there seems to be a lot of selective dodging and/or burning here. Personally, I think I would have liked it much more without the processing.
Very good challenge interpretation and composition. Of course, you chose a "powerful" B&W conversion that either makes os brakes the photo... For me, it makes it.
Potentially a very nice image, though I think you have gone way overboard on the processing. Has it been HDR'd? There are some odd shifts in tone and exposure going on...
Not sure what's more shocking - the picture or the title. Overdone, but A for effort on trying to put a more interesting twist on this repeated subject. Good luck. :)
