Nice drama, yes. Good luck!

The lighting in this is just gorgeous

Fantastic capture. GL!

this is a beautiful picture!

Thanks everyone! I actually took this in 60mph winds hah. You can see the tree in the mid left area blowing around. I sky was just so amazing before the storm started though. Then I had to run to the car full speed because they say the 7D is waterproof but I KNOW my lenses are not. hahah thank you for all of your nice compliments!

Congrats for your first place!

And thank you again Lelaina!

How cool!

Shame about the sky being so bland - perhaps a crop to just above the windmill?

A tighter crop WOULD be nice, but I think the bland sky works for this one. It enhances the isolated, lonely feeling the windmill and building convey. Good job, author!

I think magicsteve is right. There is a sense of desolation here, and the "washed-out" kind of sky helps bring this element out.

It was raining so slightly when I shot this, and very very windy. It took 20 shots on a crap tripod to get something not shakey, and not another chance to get it.

very nice, good luck !

nice

i like the simplicity

Nice...

Looks peaceful

Farm??? It looks like an industrial site that spoils the lovely place... You should send this shot to "Friends of the Earth" or something...
