I saw these power lines emeriging from the tree against a clear sky from about half a block away and decided they might make a good shot. When I pointed my camera upward I discvovered that the noon sun was also above my head... I decided to shoot anyway and I think the sun in the shot adds some flair (no pun intended) that the original scene lacked.

Here is a little bit of unsolicited advice from one who has been at the bottom here more than once.....Powerlines are the biggest pain in the butt for all photographers.....they are considered a distraction in a photograph and if you only have basic editing, you can't take them out! So, by knowing they are the bane of all photographer's existance, a shot of just the powerlines just doesn't appeal to the majority, especially on a site like this where the folks are ultra-critical.

Just my 2 cents, for what it's worth and I'm just trying to help. :-)

I like the idea. The sun seems to take away from the powerlines.

Maybe the sun should be done a little? It's a bit overwhelming

I hope you didn't damage your camera with this shot! :-)

Power lines turned out to be a really popular subject. Although I like the spectrum that the sun is making its a little too bright in the middle.
