WindMill-0377-FB (View larger)

I caught this image during a brief glimpse of sunlight after a gap in the clouds opened up. This wind mill was standing alone against a dark

backdrop of a storm, which passed an hr earlier. I took this shot as I was

leaving this location...I saw the light appear, grabbed my camera with no

time to place on my tripod, stabilized the camera on the top of a wooden

fence post and took several shots before the light disappeared. I enhanced

the color a little and sharpened the image. Thanks for looking!

Dejan this is a beautiful image. Has to be seen larger to appreciate.

Simply wonderful! Well done!

This is a wonderful capture of what appears to be the eastern plains of colorado.

Wonderful image. The contrast of warm and cold colours is sensational. There is something disturbing on the appearence of clouds, too soft or perhaps a little like watercolour - is it an effect of post processing? Otherwise one of the best pictures on photo.net. Congratulations.

Thanks for the comments.  Aykut, the "soft" clouds is naturally occuring, nothing to do with PS.  A cold front was moving in, bringing in some misture and the lower clouds "dropped" a bit. That is just the way cloud formations in Colorado work. :-)

Ratings?  I am very curious why this image was rated below a 5.50?  Not that it matters A LOT, but I joined this site to get honest feedback. Oh well.

I have to agree Dejan. I have found some of the ratings of images quite bizarre at times.

Regards. Peter
