Default Telephone wires ruining shot?

This shot was taken on the road from my car leaving the grand canyon. I loved the colors of the storm clouds but am afraid that the telephone wires ruin the shot. Thoughts?

I think the shot would look better without the wires. Some tedious work in Photoshop and they'll be gone. You can touch up those dust spots on the left side at the same time. Probably time for a sensor cleaning.

I guess there are pros and cons of both options. I like the way that the wires mimic the natural layers in the rock.

If I was shooting it again I would have a look at other angle options, i.e. position relative to the wires, after of course making the clouds come back just so...

Would it be better without the wires?... well maybe in my opinion, but then it starts to be something that its not.

i'd say i would be a better image without the lines (and dust spots as sterling points out)

Excellent shot. I agree that you should take the wires out - should not be that hard to do.
