I like how the flower pops out of the background (not voting though)

Needed a third bud to balance the picture. Good sharpness, colour and separation from the background.

My gut reaction to this is quite different than the comments made so far. Your use of a long lens has the expected effect of compressing the well-seen light, resulting in a visual feast, but, more importantly, it has given mother nature a boost in perspective, and apparently her intention is one of reclamation. The building has almost completely fallen to the approaching mountains, and despite the plea to "STOP", the transformer's destiny has been determined. A rather uplifting photo.

Comment by bassbone:
i agree with hopper on this one - this is an excellent shot, fantastic vision to see the light, and was sorely under appreciated. i am not at all troubled by the pole and transformer. in fact i think it tells a wonderful story of how civilization has expanded and grown in a rather uncivilized way

Comment by zeuszen:
Yes, I was expecting objections to the dominance of the power pole in the image. Funny thing though, it was the power pole that prompted me to take the picture. I should have, perhaps, chosen a title that would have made this a little clearer for some.

But then, I'm glad I didn't pander to demos.

I hate phone poles. They insist on being right in the middle of the best shots.

Nice street B&W. The mountains in the background really add to it.
