crop, adjust hue/saturation/brightness to get orange color -- fade that.
adjust hue/sat/brightness to get blue then fade that.
add border.
I assume this will get down-voted because it creates electricity -- although the details clearly say 'something that is mechanical and doesn't use electronics as a means of operation'. This generator uses wind as a means for operation and creates electricity from the magnets and coils of wires inside like a car generator.
Oh well I hope it does ok at least...despite the un-level horizon.
Well, it was between this and the same shot with a tryptich border. I thought the tryptich border actually brought everything together and the focus more toward the generator itself, but due to some recent comments about them, I decided to submit this one instead.

Very nice, and interesting colors, though they somehow don' look natural given the split and transition (I am not assuming they are PSd, just noting that's my impression). Compositionally, I think the angle of the blades would work better without a centered composition (or maybe if it were shot head on). It almost presents itself like a geometric abstract, so I can't help but wonder if this might have been improved by excluding the little bit of ground presented.
This wouldn't be my first choice for how to express the concept "mechanical", but it's a hauntingly lovely image, saved from stagnance by the gentle slope of the treeline horizon.
