I like this Simon. Even with the sun centered, the uneven placement of the towers left and right keeps it from being "static" for viewers. In fact it may even add to the tension to have the central sun working with the towers. An advantage of the backlighting too, is that it helps the wires stand out.

From a practical standpoint I can see lots of uses for this image, thanks to the "breathing room" you allowed above the towers on the right. Editors would readily flip this image to place it in the upper left if they wanted, even as the image could be used with cutlines such as "Dawn of a New Day for Electricity" or "Final Days of Overhead Utility Wires," depending on need. I.e., it's quite versatile due to your choice of framing.

Nice image. It generates alot of energy (forgive my word play) and interest. As Hank suggested, it has versitility and possible commercial applications. Good work

Nice capture - I'd like to see a version with the sun not centered.
Congrats on the WP!
