Love it. I think it makes a statement (whether you intended it or not) about humankind intruding on nature. A stunningly beautiful sunset, beautifully silhouetted by lots of foliage - and there's those wires. Without them it would be "just another gorgeous sunset" (not that there's anything wrong with that). With them, it says something about the world we live in (and I'm not making value judgments here - each viewer can decide for themself if the wires are a Good Thing or a Bad Thing). I like this a lot. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
