I like the composition overall. I think that the black sky is too black, especially as the transition from the water to the sky is so abrupt. I'd like to see a version of this with a somewhat less black sky. Great work though!

Interesting composition. I agree with Christopher's comments about the sky. This is a cool shot, and probably still would still be with a less radical manipulation. If only it were on film!

Strong composition and great use of B&W.

Nice composition, the contrast is ok. Congrats.

I don't agree with Christopher & Dave. I think the blackness of the sky helps in directing one's attention to the poles in the foreground and the one in the water. The fact that the sky is darker than the water surface I find cool as well as the three bright spots' forming a triangle. The darkness of the sky also helps in underlining the heavy texture of the poles in front - a brighter sky might have competed with it. One of those images that make me fall in love with b&w more and more.
