The picture was taken from a very interesting angle, really helps it represent a cobweb. Great job!

Say, have you ever seen the movie 'Watership Down' - the one about the rabbits? This reminds me a lot of a scene in that movie, where one of the rabbits is looking for his brother. He looks up at a pylon, and it looks just like this.
In any case, nice job. It's quite artistic - I like it

Pretty sweet. I like how the 4 main support beams come out from a near vanishing point

It could do with being cropped a bit for more balanced composition and to centre those beams, but I liked it as it was

I took a pick like that under the Eifel Tower on my trip to Europe...

Honestly, I've never seen anyone do a picture like this before.
It looks really cool too I've never seen a pylon from underneath.

Actually it's far safer than you'd think. Power lines are some of the most secure designs ever made. They've been going twenty years with only minimal repairs required. If they weren't safe there'd be grassfires around them constantly.

Sorry. But, I think that old derogatory remark referred more to the fact that the constant exposure to massive amounts of electricy over your head can affect your mind, somehow. It was referenced toward the end of movie Tommy Boy.
At least that's what I think it's about. I can be wrong.

Scientifically speaking the effect is doubtful, and if it did exist, it's so small as to be negligable. Still I actually felt a warm glow when I read your first comment, since my mum used to say those things. Ahh, nostalgia.

nice photo and great angle . even if others may have snapped this angle before, who cares
.
if something was done to it to jazz it up i think it would make a pretty good background for a picture .
