I missed this one during the challenge. I would have given it a 10 for one reason... I'll let you guess.... Todd HEADINGTON

As soon as the challenge was anounced I had my subject, but all week only cloud!!! The powerlines are unfortunate but had no option because every angle showed them, shame it was a 'basic' challenge or I would have removed them. I think I was marked low because of these.

Thanks for all the votes. Still unsure of how people vote overall on a challenge as my votes seem well spread. Oh well onto the next one I suppose....

Can't wait to see the explanation of this one... As far as the picture itself goes, It's nice, but I think I would have preferred to have more to the left left in the picture.

Now that's extraordinary, 7. Was there a way to compose it without the telephone wires in the way?

Certainly fits category. Can't wait to read the explanation. Too bad it wasn't on a brighter day.

Are you in the midwest? Looks like tornado damage :) Very nice and very lucky picture, though an unlucky house. Hope it wasn't yours!
