Ok. I'm starting to get extremely jealous! ;^)

Another gorgeous shot. Love the lens flare too!

Work No Longer Ends at Sunset

I love the simplicity of this - and the message in your title fits the challenge theme (impact of electricity on society). Positioning of the key item in your composition is good. Wish the person cutting your wallpaper had cut the switch opening straight - but that's a different subject. :P Good luck!

I really like the way the diagonal lines setup this composition. Very pleasing look at a utilitarian (usually boring) subject. Good luck in the challenge.

Thanks Ray. Being a basic editing challenge I was a little limited. I did mess with color saturation some to try and get more emphasis on the spider but there is a fair amount of red (and yellow) already present in other areas (top left). When bumped those other areas became distracting and competed with the theme of the image. I almost kind of like the mystery it adds. ;^)

Makes my hair stand on end just looking at this! ;^) You have an "inside" advantage. He-he.

I love the way those lines are illuminated. At first I thought they were very long lens flare streaks from a helicopter mounted light. ;^) Serious. The angle and bold B/W work fine with this. Looks like an old-time image. Good luck in the challenge.

I find myself looking around for an item to judge scale on the subject items. The dirt road and rocks help some. Just mentioning this because it's one of the first things that came to mind (how big are these things?). Your image is well focused and the exposure is good. The power lines form a good diagonal point of interest. Late or early day lighting may have added more drama, or a bolder sky could punch this up some. Technically, it's fine - just not overly exciting to look at. JMO of course. ;^) Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Interesting effect. Looks more like a graphic than an image. I'll be curious to learn more about how you did this after the challenge is over. Honestly, I'm not sure if I like it in this context (photo challenge) as it seems a bit over the top. JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge.

Oh the torture I imagine you went thru..."include the wire?", "don't include the wire?". :D Great idea for showing an electrical item. The clear glass and wonderful background work well. One thing I may have considered is doing this in a portrait orientation with maybe some negative space underneath. I'm sure you made the best choice given the situation. Either way...well done. Best of luck to you in the challenge.
