Your thoughts would of course be welcome.

Not bad... I think it's too dark at the top of the frame...

I Google'd it and wasn't successful... So, what the hell is Pylonology

^To the people wondering what Pylonology is, he made up the word, however, the big metal thing in the photo is called a Pylon.

O/T: I like it.

I have one without the dark bit...

Pylonology is...well, see below...

I must be the only Pylonologist in existence! ;D

Thanks Muct. And yes, it's a made up word.
A long while back there was an advert for BT with the mother on the phone to someone talking about son, who'd passed a degree...she was impressed that he had an "Ology".

Boring subject but i guess this is just a casual shoot. The trees on the base of the pylon are really distracting because the pylon's legs lead your eyes down and BAM trees and stuff appear if it wasn't for that, good composition.

Thanks. A casual shoot as in "Taking a walk around the nature reserve and taking photos of what I see and what I like"...yes.

As for the trees, well, I liked that...the trees are part of nature, and then springing from them, there's the pylon. I set up the shot so that the lines are forming, with the pylon and trees, a triangular composition, a strong diagonal. I also included both pylons, two focal points, both somewhat on the thirds. I also decided on this shot due to the light on the trees (which I would have liked to have been a little more golden) in contrast to the nice colour of the sky, which is why I didn't crop the trees.

Now, whether my choices were correct or not is a different question. But that's what the photo was about. I take many pictures of pylons...if they are part of the landscape, they are art of the landscape. Whether we photographers (and I class myself only loosely as one) moan or clone them makes no difference. They are there...make them a feature, perhaps? besides which, the mathematician in me likes the symmetry, angle and shape here. Makes a fabulous starter for a lesson on shape.

Thanks for completing your post, appreciate the critique.
