Yes I agree with Sharon. The aerial is what brings the photograph together.

Hmmm, I suppose it does lend some much needed visual tension.

That. And the fact that at least three of the patches look like happy wee ghosts helps too

Just some thoughts
Watch out you will end up in Private Eye in Pseud's Corner.

Ahh HH, she's been caught out. Oh and I forgot to say thanks for your
favourable comments on my dried out frog & squirrel photos.

I always find it difficult in deciding what makes a good photograph, which is why my partner usually decides what goes in the trash and what gets printed.
Isn't that the essence of good photography? Knowing which to throw away(?)

I guess, but sometimes it's hard to see in a photograph a quality that's worth keeping.

Perhaps that's skill #2.
