 This old windmill is on a farm just outside Burford in Oxfordshire. It has laid dormant for as long as I have known, why it's never been dismantled I have no idea.
Shot in Raw, I played around a bit with colour tempaerature, tint, saturation and a few other values. Converted to Jpeg, sharpened slightly, removed some dust speckles and a bit of dodge and burn on the sky for extra impact. NR action run.

I always like this sort of shot. These always make you wonder why it still stands. Great job. I love silhouette (spelling?) shots.

Returning for comments:
A great shot with ample spatial overhead. The tones add interest along with the sky. Bumping up.

This is one of my favorites of the challenge. The nostalgic feeling, the facing of the windmill to the left, looking back to the past: a thing forgotten and left behind. Nice job.

Very nice colors and composition, but it could do with some cropping from the bottom

Nice shot, foreground is a little distracting and it's hard to see whats broken, but good.
