Wonderful light and colors; to be honest, looks more "chilly" than just "cool" to me.

This shot really needs you to move up and get lower. Moving up eliminates the barbed wire/moves the wire, and changing the angle may help the windmill become a more destinct visual element.

this view looks like it is full of potential, with the colors in the foreground, and the way the clouds and light can play across the background. what you need, though is a strong subject. by centering the windmill, you have made it the subject here, but it is too far away, and most of its detail blends in with the background. if you have access to this type of vista on a regular basis, you are in heaven! all you really need to do is work on composition, and you will be turning out some amazing work! good luck!

Image quality is a little down (the hills for example are a little pixelated) which hurts this image, but it's a good subject and composition is effective.

Texas hill country? Nice colors

This has the potential, to me, to be a great shot. The centered composition of the windmill hurts a bit, and the noise in the sky does as well. The entire image feels a little odd, as if the processing is a little off somehow- too soft in places and too sharp in others. And this is just an aside- is there writing on the top of the hills on either side of the windmill??

quite nice, but i feel getting closer to the wind thing would be more effective.

Good use of small aperature for great DOF. Subject isn't the most appealing IMO. Also,I would like it better without the barbed-wire fence. ...5...

Ice image. not sure about the composition though

The muted tones in this picture make it really quite beautiful.
I love it.

Subject is too much centered
