   Somehow the power lines add to it.

   @CSK: Thanks–I think so too, despite the fact that usually, they are annoyingly in the way.

   @Steven L. Taylor:
   It may be that the stratification enhances the color.

   @Steven L. Taylor: I think they are a counterpoint that enhances the fractal lines of the trees.

   Very nice.

   Having spent the summer looking at pictures like this (and once live) taken in the middle of the day, my initial reaction was “Which national forest fire is this?”

   The power lines annoyed me at first, but after I sat with it a bit, it grew on me. (I was initially attracted to the orange, pink, amaranthine sky – I admit to being a dramatic sunset aficionado.)

   The top line is very near the magical third for framing. The straight line contrasts with the fractal limbs and branches.

   The power lines are the discordant note that unifies the whole once you give it a minute.

   The power lines really make this picture. Fine composition.
