Nice composition, I like your use of negative space. Beautiful color gradient. (3:1)

This is a beautiful shot!
jon.hayes (75 months ago | reply)
say no more. This is a great image. I love the soft colours in the sky and the effective simplicity of the composition. Looks like this is the beginning or the end of the line.

Thanks all. I like this a lot. The muted pastel(ish) colors and minimal land/skyscape make this a unique shot I think. Thanks for comming by and commenting.

End of the line?

Gee, all this needs is about a million black birds and it could be a scene out of "birds".
Great picture, love the colors!

@lightstamp - interesting observation. I think it goes undergroud across the street where it's picked up above ground again.
Thanks guys!!

Wonderful shot -- beautiful light and composition!!

Great Shot!
Most of the times powerlines are only in the way of making a picture look good. In this case, they make the picture GREAT!

Nice minimalitic composition, I can see you give some thougs to the subject, 5/7 from MiRea's Realm group.
ray4u2c (75 months ago | reply)
Nice combination of colour. Nice composition too... but isn't too empty? I guess.

nice composition!
and pink to blue, blue to pink...
wonderful gradation.
chrisflyer (75 months ago | reply)
Sky color change and arranging the power lines in sequence are the plus side. Yet the framing is not feeling that balance. There are too much sky and not enough emphasis of the power lines. Would really like to see more power lines to form a stronger image.

rockstro (75 months ago | reply)
I love the balance of this image but there's a really irritating bit of muck on the sky just in from the left not quite halfway up! (Dirt on the sensor?) Other than that it's great, and has real "wow" factor for me! Faved
From the MiRea's Realm Group, you are given a 6.5/7 ranking.
Harry Fisch (75 months ago | reply)
I understand the framing and the idea but I would like to see more saturation in this style of picture.

shoothead (75 months ago | reply)
Thank you all in the realm for commenting. I tried a couple different crop combonations initially but this is what I ultimately came up with as I wanted a minimalist landscape picture.
@rockstro - yes there is considerable dust on my sensor. I thought I cleaned this photo of it pretty good but I guess I missed a couple spots. Thanks for faving.
JuanJ (75 months ago | reply)
Congratulations!
Ditching the highest and lowest score you get a total of 24.5 out of 35 in the MiRea's Realm Group.

@leecullivan -- I seem to have picked up a permanent blob on my sensor which I can't get rid of . . . It only shows up on solid areas, so I have to clone it out. Just don't crop this? It's marvellous as it is!
Hotash (75 months ago | reply)
I really like this, the color, the setting, nice.

That gradient is beautiful...

The great gradient of color in the skyline reminds me of Lemon Jelly's cover art.
