Beautiful, but the sharpening on the background cliffs and trees makes it look a bit fake.

A really nice shot, although the foreground looks perhaps a little too bright and a touch oversharpened.

John, you are right, techically it *is* a very good photo. I gave it a 7. The only, basically insignificant, technical comment i can see as relevent to this image is that the white is "whiter" or better lit behind the blade than in front. The lighting on the blades though (which is what really matters) is perfect.
So it really came down to personal preferance - when i first saw the image i thought, i wish he had gotten closer to the blades, maybe no white at all - so we could be emmersed in the black and silver waves. I stand by my first impression. I dont know what this talk is about stray hairs? Someone must have super sonic eyes, because i cant see any!!

This is a beautiful setting and your photo is well composed. It feels a little bright to me (and my monitor is calibrated) and a bit over sharp. Otherwise, a worthy ribbon contender and among my top dozen picks.

I liked this one. I can't say what's good or bad about it, but I just thought it fit the challenge well. Ie. the focus lighting was good, etc..

Not bad at all. Can't help thinking it could be improved though. The sky is great, but the forefround to me lacks interest. good challenge entry.

There's an unnatural look on the ground, maybe oversharpened, nice view though..

This wide a view was probably used in order for viewers to be able to identify the object however the pattern of the blades is very interesting and I feel a closer crop would add to that interest.
