Intereting picture. Was gonna say it was not straight but looked at the stick coming out that ground and that is, even if the horizon and side of the windmill aren't. Good shot Bumping up.

Nice calm image, horizon looks a tad tilted though.

This image captures a feeling of isolation really well...

Horizon looks tilted

Bleak. A little overexposed and the focus seems soft.

10 from me...good luck!

It may be an optical illusion, but the horizon looks a tad tilted to me. On the plus side, I like the way the objects in the left and right foreground balance the image.

I really like this shot. The B&W and teh contrast between ground and sky work well.
