Powerful Silhouettes
Lens: Sigma 70-300 APO Macro Zoom Camera: Pentax K-01 

My personal theme for Round 2 is Powerful Silhouettes. Image taken on a cold, clear Melbourne morning which provided great color before sunrise. I have always been attracted to color and shapes and these high voltage powerlines and towers silhouetted against the strong dawn sky caught my eye. They were at the extreme range of my zoom, and I selected the Sunset scene mode on my pentax K-01 which helped accentuate the sky colour. Exposure used was f5.6, 1/15th sec, ISO200, and lens set at 300mm. The theme is meant to depict the strong color and shapes in the photo, and I thought it matched the subject matter perfectly.

Most people would never think of taking a shot of ugly pylons spoiling a nice sunset but you've turned it into something special.

Well done!
