I am usually in the same camp with singe about the wires. But I grew up in a small town like this and they are just unavoidable...I tried shooting the family church there and you just cannot get around them. They somewhat work for me in this because of the angle you chose. I would like to see them repeated down the street but some of them get lost in the far dark background. Maybe some PS dodging or brigtening of that area would bring them out more, rather than less, because they are there and it helps to make the shot. Note further that I regularly remove window air conditioners from images that I have done, but again, their repitition down the street also adds to the flavor of this image for me. Great stuff....ah home....better call Mom tomorrow and say hi!

Good composition.

Interesting perspective. I think a shallower dof and/or more dramatic tones may be interesting. The picture also leaves me wanting to know more about what is in front of the houses...

Since I am lacking in technical skills, I cannot give helpful comments. I am strictly a photo buff who is trying to improve, but as to telling you what is wrong or right, I am in no position to say. I am simply voting based on whether I like the picture or not. Sorry, maybe someday I will be able to give helpful advice

I like the angle on this and the repitition of the buildings. The power lines are distracting, though.
