Like to see this

... at a higher resolution. The barns (?) in the background may be interesting, but I can't see enough of them. The rainbow and the colors of sky and grass look good. The power line doesn't. It seems to be oversharpened, making it even more dominant that it probably should be.

Nothing

enhanced or sharpened; it is the wierd light - which is about the only point of this not very remarkable picture - which is making the lines stand out.

Sky

This shot has a very dynamic sky. I love the color you've got in it. Did you take any shots with a 90mm lens? I'd be real tempted to erase all the power line stuff. I've never been able to capture a good rainbow image.

Thanks

for the comments, Mark and Wilfred. A 90 would have been interesting, but the 35 is what I had on the camera and this is essentially a grab shot - 20 seconds later it was raining heavily and the light had changed. I'm interested that you are both troubled by the power lines - I think they contribute to the picutre, such as it is; they emphasise the sky by standing out against it. But I quess that's why comments are interesting and helpful - we all see different things.
