Specific Feedback

any feedback is cool. I did try to capture White and Black and Grays in my tones. that real important to me. sometimes the composition can be just … so so… but if the tone is there especially in black & white It really draws my attention. and keep it FUN !!!

A nice addition to your utility pole portfolio, Gill. It might be interesting to see if you can create a version with more texture showing on the bright side of the pole.

Very interesting and pleasing conglomeration of stuff. I like the high contrast but you still kept the mid-tones. Yes, important!!

Maybe dig out a bit more from the darks on the pole, as @Dennis_Plank said. I could be happy with a little more breathing room on top – expanding canvas with generative fill might work a miracle if you don’t have the canvas. But VERY cool in any case! You are amassing a wonderful collection!
