Genius!

I really like the way all of the overhead wires frame the block of buildings. I'm thinking about the crop though - what you have is good, but I'm wondering if a square crop that eliminates a portion of the bottom would make it stronger. The grassy field is far less interesting than the collection of wires and poles in beautiful b/w. There's some solid raw material here.

Noted and thanks! I know what you mean and it's a solid critique, but I had tried 1x1 and 4x5, didn't like the look so kept the original 2x3. Went with my eye on that one.

Edit: However, I did think this image (below) worked as a 1x1. It is a slightly different angle and avoids the problem of that post dominating on the LHS. Plus here's one more from the evening. Cheers, my friends.

I know, it can sometimes be tough when you are ultimately deciding upon which crop works best; been there done that, agonized over it many times myself. But that second shot with the slightly different angle really works well with that crop you selected. It really narrows your attention to the most critical elements which are the vertical and diagonal frame elements for the building. Your first picture was good but this is superior IMO.

the lines confuse the eyes in the first pic.
