Hah!
You had me fooled... I thought this was an antenna. Sure looks like one! Great shot.

i really like your framing on this... I wonder if a polarizer could have deepened the blue in the sky al little?
I'm still trying to figure out how this thing stands up... looks like the tension on the wires is all that gives it rigidity... think I've read about such structures, but not seen one. Would like to know where this is, and what's the function.

Great catch and a good choice of shutter speed! You could have brought up the bottom end of your levels a bit, this would have darkened the sky.

Super! This is obviously >1:1 magnification... did you crop from a larger image? While I like your choice of DoF, I'm wondering if bringing the center of focus to the center of the seam would have made this even better?

Very cool inperpretation of the subject. I like the small aperture giving the stars on the LEDs. Wish the bit of light on the nearest cables at lower right was not there.

What a beautiful sky. I like the abstract nature of this shot. Was it possible to include the top of the nearest spiral of the antenna?
BTW, just how far up did you have to climb to get this shot??

talk about an uncommonly good image of a common subject. Well done!
I love the lighitng; your exposure is spot on, and DoF is perfect.
Did you also try this in landscape (with eye of foremost mannequin at upper left "rule of thirds" point & a little neg. space at right)?

Nice intrepretation of the subject; the lighting just makes this shot for me. Did you provide the front and/or side lighting on the statue?
Only impovement I could imagine would be a little more of the front light on his head/face.

Perfect exposure. Crop works pretty well. I wonder if maybe a portrait orientation would have had more impact, emphasize the height of the dam?

Nice crop. Perfect use of DoF, retians the scoreboard as an element of the photo, not totally blurrred, but emphasizes the subject. Diffuse light is very nice. A sunny day would have been bad news for this shot!
