Shot just north of Morro Bay, I think this windmill pumps water for a watering trough for the cattle nearby.

Cropped, rotated for straight horizon, levels, saturation, resized for web.

If your subject weren't right in the middle of the photo I would've scored it higher.

Very nice tone and saturation. I think you should have cropped a bit off the left because that emptiness combined with the tree on the right makes the picture feel too lopsided. A longer exposure giving motion to the windmill would have been nice too bad the clouds weren't cooperating with you.

It's usually more appealing to the eye when the subject isn't in the exact center of the picture. Nice colors and otherwise good composition.

Around here, all kinds of people have these in their yards as a decoration. Also, ranchers still use the big ones to provide the power to the pumps that fill stock tanks.

try not to center your subjects...remember the rule of thirds?

I wouldn't call this technology obsolete, because it's very much on the upswing. I wouldn't call this object "worn out" or otherwise useless, since it seems to be in good repair and functional. So I'm not sure how this really fits hte challenge. But it's a nice shot anyway.

Doesn't look very 'obsolete' to me but a nice picture nevertheless

Nice shot. I like the long shadows. Maybe a tad overexposed. 7
