There is a lot to this image.... nearly missed it in the thumbnail. The power lines work well (normally they are a pain in the @#*^) and lift it from an ordinary landscape. For the criticism..... I would like to see the sky a little darker, particularly on the top left, and maybe a little more contrast. Good luck in the print exchange.

Thanks for your comments.

The power lines are what made me walk back a bit and take the picture. Usually you curse them for being there.

As usual, there is a bit more sky detail in the print than there is in the scan. The sky had about 50% extra burning in but I will experiment with an increase on that.



Steve.
