Tension

I cropped this very tight to create tension in the frame. Not sure how this capture works since this is not my line.

I think it works fine. What I would do is darken the background, so as to focus even more attention on the poles and lights. I do like the composition despite its tightness.

I agree with Alberto.

I think you achieved your goal of 'tension' with this close framing.
I like it as is with regards to the BG..
Just dark enough to not compete with your subject, and the tree/branch patterns add well IMHO.

Very well done. You nicely achieved the tension and a creative eye to see this, too.

I think this worked out very well, Rick. The lights and pole catch my attention and not having them centered works well. I think the background adds a lot. As a minor nit, I think just a hair more space between the light and frame on the right would be good.
