 Very last minute entry. Running out of time and it was dark so i attempted a night shot which was a total failure. I heavily cropped this out of one of the shots though and ended up very pleased with the result. I'd also forgotten my camera was set to ISO 1000 but as i wanted a heavy grain for this shot that didn't matter. I used an off camera flash a couple of times during the long exposure.

Post:

Thanks for all the great comments everyone. I'm very pleased. A top ten, a personal best AND a posthumous Red!

Now this looks cool. Love the centered view and the grain really enhances it. The most artistic entry I have run into in this challenge so far. Hope it does well for you, it deserves a high placement.

Usually I'm not a fan of noise in a picture, but in this case I think it ads to this shot. Great work!

Just beautiful. A perfectly artistic power line shot. Fabulous processing and b/w conversion. The mist/clouds really make the shot as they highlight the lines, which could easily have been upstaged by the pole. Great work.

Fancy. Not used to seeing wires go in all directions.

This one stands out from all the cliche shots (and yes, that includes mine haha). The pp is top-notch. The pole looks like a dandelion! 9
