I quite like the way the light seems to be drawing power from the sun and transferring it - very interesting perspective!

Love the sun - it's just oozing radiant heat with all that yellow and orange glow.

I like how the lamp almost looks like it is making the sun. The lines are terrific and the color is very well done. Not sure why this scored this low.

Greetings from the Critique Club

You have an interesting story-telling image here. From what I can tell from your portfolio, you like to take your photography to the edge and you certainly did that here.

I think for a 'better' score, this image might have done well if it was simpled down a bit. Cropping out some of the power lines would bring attention to the very nice action of the bird and light post and sun, which I think are the main story points here.

Since this was Expert Editing, you could have played around with the sun so that it wasn't so 'hot' (pun not intended) but you didn't so I expect you wanted it that way. Again, voters may have disagreed.

In any event, it's an intriguing image and one I'm pleased to have had the chance to view.

Nice shot. I thought this would have scored higher. Goes to show what I know.

Although your title has portrayed your thoughts, it is not a strong image...5
