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.

A bit bland on the color and subject matter here...

I'd be more surprised if you didn't see any, sadly it's the norm these days, not many places you can to and get away from it all.

The shot is a bit dull, lacks punch and pop, the dull colors could use a bit of contrast A 5

Yes. But if you'll notice, the lines are strung to be egle friendly!

Wish we could see the look on your face. The colors here are a bit washed out, and the focus is off.
