I don't think that the light on the wires is that much of a distraction. If anything, it gets me to the background since it becomes a leading line. I thought they could be toned down a bit. So I put the original in LR and used the radial filter twice on the wires. The first circle was vertical and by reversing the selection, I was able to tone down the wires. Then, I did the same thing with a horizontal elipse (same tool). Last think I did was to use the graduated filter tool from the top of the photo to about half way down. That allowed me to tone down the exposure and put a bit more detail into the sky without really changing the feel of the original which I thought was good. I liked the photo in the original so I only made subtle changes.
