Normally I avoid including power lines in my photos, or I clone them out in PP, but I left these in, because I like the way they lead you to the sunrise. And I know the power pole is almost dead center, but I think it works here. :D

I think that is very neatly done could see that hanging on a wall somewhere.
And, like I often say, it looks like one of those 'pictures asking to be taken' that I see as I drive around.

I like it a lot, Wendy! The wavy road and the poles leading all the way to the distance add a lot of interest, as does the light shining on the wires. Super composition.

Thank you, RS.
My camera goes with me everywhere; whether I take the time to stop or not is the issue. This was taken on my way to work this morning, and since I deliberately left the house early "just in case", I'm glad I took the time to stop :)

I also believe leaving the poles in was a great call. I think they are what make the picture interesting.

Nice shot!

Nice work, Wendy. The leading lines of the power lines and the road work really well. I might take that little wisp of white out.

Thanks.
I thought about removing the white, but it's actually a plane, and since I love planes, too, I decided to leave it. :D

I agree with you on the lines. In this case they add to the image. My normal reaction is to get rid of them. I like your composition very much!
