Great sky and the colours are very good, I like the composition too but for me I think the pylon looks a little odd not being vertical, try rotating the image 2 degrees CW and see what you think.

Good call Steve. A couple degrees CW made a significant difference. But man I hate cropping and little rotations cause artifacts from resampling. The moral is, frame it right before you pull the trigger. Live and learn :)

thx bert

A definite improvement Bert, it's surprising how difficult it is to get the camera perfectly level when hand holding the camera, unless you are lucky to have grid lines on your screen (which I don't) it has happened to me lot's of times even when making a conscious effort to keep the camera level, luckily with wonderful programmes like Photo shop you can at least correct it after the event.
Best wishes Steve
