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.

shoothead says:

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.

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!!

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!

chrisflyer says:

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.

From the MiRea's Realm Group, you are given a 4.5/7 ranking.

rockstro says:

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.

I understand the framing and the idea but I would like to see more saturation in this style of picture.

shoothead says:

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.

rockstro says:

@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!
