I tried to catch both the storm clouds and the windmill with all of its bullet holes. Both were strong subjects which put me hard pressed for a title. Weathering The Storm, seemed appropriate as it could have a twofold meaning, both past and future. Hand held shot using about 60% of what I had framed.

I like this, it has a good atmosphere about it, kind of deserted and desolate. Boosting the contrast a little would make the windmill in front more of a silhouette and the clouds more dramatic, which might improve the photo, but it depends what look you were going for.
I can't help but see this as a well ventilated windmill. The clouds are nice and you've applied the rule of thirds very well. I could see this as being used in a textbook.
I like windmills so much I submitted one for the cliche challenge. There are heaps around where I live and they are great photography subjects. I like the contrast between the ground and sky and the bullet holes give this even more character. Great work and good luck in the challenge.
A very well composed image. Big bulging clouds (storm like) with a luscious green sloping hill. The main subject, the windmill adds interest to the photo as well. Again an excellent photo with composition, colour and a lovely country feel. Great capture and GL.
I love this. The composition is strong with the windmill on the right third, and teh grass/clouds/leaves make nice "divisions" in the picture. Good work. 10
