 When the challenge was announce, I knew i want to do strong line and industrial, and this is what I came up with.
Shot from my in-laws backgarden in RAW.

In Bibble RAW:

Cropped
Boost Saturation and contrast

In PP CS (All in adjustment layers done to the whole image)
Levels to darken and improve silhouette
Colour balance to improve colour of the sky against the pilon
Curves just to tweak the contrast further.

Save for web, cross fingers and pray!

This really makes an impact. The scene feels huge. The span of the wires, the vista of sky. I like the way you've framed it so the ground is almost out of frame...it emphasizes the tower and sky to maximum effect. Colours are lovely...even to my colour-blind eyes.

The color mixture here bothers me. Perhaps a bit of desaturation would make it more appealing, but in this instance the blend of blue and red offends my eye. Otherwise a great shot- 6
