sunsets, scenery, and lightning Windmill At Sunset

Back to basic and hopefully rules apply here.

Wayne: This is very nice. Obviously the old Kansas wind was blowing. The composition is lovely. The colors and values are sweet. What's the small light on the left horizon? I think it adds something so don't spot it out! Altogether, it's a very, very nice image.

Yes, the composition and color are very nice. Good shot! I can't see anything to change. My only nit is that there may be too much sharpening as I can see the halo around the windmill.

Lovely peaceful picture. Well grounded, nice pastel tones. What about having the windmill in the far right of the shot? I think it would be a nice framing, balancing the left clouds.

A classy, classic image. For me it has what I refer to as AHHHHHH appeal... that is to say; a shot that makes you want to say.. ahhh... nice one!

I just noticed - when I scroll this picture up and down on my monitor, the blades seem to turn. Hah!

 

This is just a superb picture. Except for the USM halo mentioned by Stephen, I can't think of a thing I'd change. And that's pretty easy to fix.

 

Wayne, those clouds had to have been pink or orange sometime before or after this shot. Did you get those and just decide these were better? If so, good call.

Wayne,

This is an excellent picture that most of us would be pleased to claim as our own.

Nonetheless, it's been bitten by a couple of unseemly, low ratings. If you care about such things, it might be appropriate in this instance to e-mail the parties directly and ask them to reconsider their ratings in the light of comments submitted here, or otherwise to justify what they've done.
