 I know this won't score well, but it my best picture of a Hawk ever and it happens to be on a hydro line.

Splendid. Everything "lines' up so well, and I am completely anthropomorphically projected into this intense balletic hawk.

Congrats on your personal best! Looking forward to more entries from you. So close to top ten and very close to the top 5 ... come on! Keep them coming!

Great image, and the thick power line with the visible twist. But that bird! And stretching his leg. WD on a really enjoyable image.

Clean and beautiful. Certainly demonstrating a modern tree branch.

Wow! Great pose. It's a bit "dull" in some ways, but the bird is awesome. I think I would have cropped it tighter. Not voting, just commenting.

What?? Is he giving you the finger, um claw??? Sky almost looks fake. Incredible nature shot, but it's more about the gorgeous bird than about power lines...

This bird looks like he is doing his morning calisthetics - open, close, stretch, repeat. I like that he is diagonally situated, off-corner. Great capture.

Nice capture but I think the powerlines should be the main focal point for this challenge but it's clearly not in this picture.

Hehe...great subject, and great focus. Hard to tell it's a power line though, without reading the title.

Hehe... looks like it's putting it's fist out as if to say, "power!"

He says, "I'll crush your head... like this!"

Nice all around shot.
