Usually, I work hard to eliminate overhewd wires from my photos, often resorting to Photoshop to remove them when they interfere with what I am interested in showing. This is especially so when I am working on architectural shots.
We were visiting Clarksburg, ON on Thursday and I noticed all the wires overhead which caught my interest, especially with the dark blue sky and clouds behind them. So I decised to focus on them and see what I could do, intentionally putting them into the frame.
Now I am trying to figure out if they work best in colour or B&W. I can't say I have a real preference, although I am leaning towards the B&W images.
There are four shots in this series I would value your opinion and any critique on how the shots could have been improved.

The Wire-tailed Swallow (Hirundo smithii) is a small passerine bird in the swallow family. Swallows are somewhat similar in habits and appearance to other aerial insectivores, such as the related martins and the unrelated swifts (order Apodiformes).
Wire-tailed Swallow breeds in Africa south of the Sahara and in tropical southern Asia from the Indian subcontinent east to southeast Asia. It is mainly resident, but populations in Pakistan and northern India migrate further south in winter.
This bird is found in open country near water and human habitation. Wire-tailed Swallows are fast flyers and they generally feed on insects, especially flies, while airborne. They are typically seen low over water, with which they are more closely associated than most swallows.
The neat half-bowl nests are lined with mud collected in the swallows' beaks. They are placed on vertical surfaces near water under cliff ledges or more commonly on man-made structures such as buildings and bridges.
The clutch is three to four eggs in Africa, up to five in Asia (Turner and Rose). These birds are solitary and territorial nesters, unlike many swallows, which tend to be colonial.
This striking species is a small swallow at 14 cm in length. It has bright blue upperparts, except for a chestnut crown and white spots on the tail. The underparts are white, with darker flight feathers. There is a blue mask through the eye.
This species gets its name from the very long filamentous outermost tail feathers, which trail behind like two wires. Sexes manifest similar appearances, but the female has shorter "wires". Juveniles have a brown crown, back and tail. The Asian form, H. s. filifera, is larger and longer-tailed than the abundant African H. s. smithii.

A new view at Hanveden. They have been clearing this area from shrubs and trees. So as the flickr addict I am, I had to go up there and have a look.

The maze of wires that live on my computer table, provide insight into my digital life:
* an ethernet cable
* Apple headphones
* external harddrive firewire connector
* MacBook power cord
* USB cables for the printer, digital camera and iPod Touch.
