Hello! You have requested a comment from the critique club:

First Impression/Opinion: My first thought when looking at this image was WOW! look at that sky, then hmm why are all those tangled power lines in the way? It seems to me that the main subject here is the sky. I think partially you got voted down because of it in this challenge. A slightly lower angle may have helped get those power lines more attention. The colors in this sky are beautiful!

Composition: visually interesting. You have the two sides of leading lines leading to the powerline pole. i\'m glad you chose to take the shot with it in the lower corner rather than the center, that keeps things interesting.But the tangle of dark power lines are very distracting in the left corner.

Post Processing: it doesn\'t seem that you did too much work editing this, even though it was an advanced editing challenge. There isn\'t much more i can say here about the post processing the details in the sky are very clear, and i\'m assuming it was intentional to create silhouettes with the powerlines.

Challenge Criteria: completely fits the challenge!

My Vote: i did not vote in this challenge, but would have given a 6.

I like the tilt. Good sky, too. Not that you created it, but at least you picked a good moment :)
