Hey Dave,
Thanks for the comment. I think I'll pull the shot till I get a better way of duplicating it. I've looked at your pics and they are great. I really like this one. Great all around.
Dave

Wow, very other-worldly cloud formation! The Velvia and filter have also given this a punch (not sure what PS was done if any). I can understand what some have said about the tilt, but "correcting" it might also look a bit odd given that it's a natural hill-slope.
- I very much agree with your recent comment regarding "criticism and how to accept it" that you left on that person's deleted photo. Some people just miss the whole point of this site... (and are rude in the process)

The polarizer causes that dark blue at the top right of your shot (which works for this one, but my ones tend to suffer a bit, I haven't yet tried tungsten based film, is there any other way to reduce the effect?

Thankyou everyone, many of whom took the time to make thoughtful comment. I am flattered and surprised at how much attention this particular image recieved.
As I was driving my truck to a dog-run, I saw those clouds and had to stop. I wanted to get rid of the telephone poles, but I also had a contrary desire to have something interesting in the foreground. It is very difficult to find a position on the prairies where you don't have a few telephone poles captured by a 28mm lens. With only minutes before clouds and light would change, I had to work fast. I wanted a house or a tree to punctuate the foreground, but none was available. So I decided to embrace the telephone poles, as prairie sky and structure embrace each other.
Thankyou to those of you who pointed out the tilting poles. In retrospect I agree that the image looks tipped. The horizon naturally tilts that way, on a hill. Much of the apparent tilt is a 'keystone effect' from the wide angle lens being tipped up to take in the sky. Nevertheless I think it will partially correct on disc.
I neglected to mention that I used a two stop ND grad filter to preserve detail in the foreground. Unfortunately, with that plus the polarizer, I lost detail in the upper right. It is there on the slide but I don't have the photoshop skills to mask that area specifically. Cheers.

Beautiful colours and great use of lines... I love how the powerlines guide you into the scene and then the cloud overwhelms you! The sky has gone almost black from the polariser though, and I find it's an empty abyss up there because of it. Have you tried recovering any colour up there?
Gorgeous light, and great framing on this entire scene!

Great example of beautiful scenery. I am not so sure that here the poalrizing filter has added value to the situation (the upper right corner is unpleasantly dark)

I can see a face in this so clearly making it very interesting. The lines work well and was going to comment on the angle but I can see from the road this is how it actually is. Great colours! Thanks for the info about the lens, hope the insomnia is OK!
