Power Lines

Challenge #7 in the Take a Natural Photo series. Hosted by xpda.

Challenge has finished

Photo Realism. Take a photo of any power line, giving a realistic representation of it in natural color. Avoid oversaturated, artifically vibrant colors, and no black and white. Any type of power line is fine, from the power plant to the house or building it services. A single line, pole, or insulator will work, or a photo of power lines stretching for miles. Strive for realism, and use the scene itself rather than digital processing on the camera or PC to create the art.
