Good shot, but I would try cropping out the far right windmill and some sky.

I have never seen one up close wally but if i had the chance then i would wait until the sun is behind & showing a silloette (sp?) & crop it in close...just an idea.

Maybe get the blades turning with a very slow shutter to show movement. You would need weakish light though.

GusHey Gus, yeah, been wanting some sundown shots for sure, the blades turn pretty slow, but with the right shutter, I'm sure they could be blurred.....that is a really good idea!!!

As a matter of fact Dani, I do know! They are owned by a company called Zilkha and the Company that I work for W.F.E.C. buys the power and distributes it to power approx. 22,000 rural homes. W.F.E.C. is a Generation and Transmission Cooperative. We serve 9 electic cooperatives and several municipalities.
