I really like this shot. I was thinking of doing something similar here with either a water tower or windmill. We usually don't have quite the dramatic sunsets here though. I thought of getting up early to do a sunrise, but couldn't drag myself out of bed that early! ;-)

Dramatic sky. Excellent composition. A favorite of mine in this challenge.

Nice photo, but the bright orange on the right distracts the eye from the silhouette. The mill should've been much more bigger.

you had a lot of "windmill competition" this challenge and you've come out on top in my opinon -- one of my ribbon picks -- tones and clouds/windmill are excellently composed.

Very nice. Spectacular colors, crisp silhouette. The Only thing I dislike is how small the windmill is in the phot. I wish there was someway to make it more promenant without loosing any of that wonderfull sky. Very well done.

That is SO pretty! This is one of the kinds of pictures I imagine when I think of a beautiful, perfect silhouette picture. Your sky cooperated so perfectly for you to give you such a dramatic photo. I love it!

Very nice phot ... personally would have cropped it tighter around the windmill in a portrait crop but thats me ... good luck

Beautiful shot! The windmill really stands out, and the blacks look wonderful. The sky is just amazing. Definitely print material.
