I tried to catch both the storm clouds and the windmill with all of its bullet holes. Both were strong subjects which put me hard pressed for a title. Weathering The Storm, seemed appropriate as it could have a twofold meaning, both past and future. Hand held shot using about 60% of what I had framed.

Nice rural scene with a great sky. I think it works as a stock photo.

I really love this whoe shot - it has a lot of "feeling" yet leaves plenty of room for text or advertising. One of my favorites - excellent job!

Awesome shot, one of this weeks best! Great color and light and contrast. Would work nicely for stock as well. WTG!

I like this, it has a good atmosphere about it, kind of deserted and desolate. Boosting the contrast a little would make the windmill in front more of a silhouette and the clouds more dramatic, which might improve the photo, but it depends what look you were going for.

An excellent, excellent stock image. Has room for additonal elements, moody, good contrast, and symbolic. A 10!

I can't help but see this as a well ventilated windmill. The clouds are nice and you've applied the rule of thirds very well. I could see this as being used in a textbook.

I like windmills so much I submitted one for the cliche challenge. There are heaps around where I live and they are great photography subjects. I like the contrast between the ground and sky and the bullet holes give this even more character. Great work and good luck in the challenge.

A very well composed image. Big bulging clouds (storm like) with a luscious green sloping hill. The main subject, the windmill adds interest to the photo as well. Again an excellent photo with composition, colour and a lovely country feel. Great capture and GL.

Awesome! This majestic cloud really enhances the powerful image of the windmill. Perfect for a brochure or picture book.

I love this. The composition is strong with the windmill on the right third, and teh grass/clouds/leaves make nice "divisions" in the picture. Good work. 10
