I would have like to see the sky not so dark. That way the windmill had been in more sihouette.
The composition might have been a bit more interesting.
Good job though !

The clouds, especially mid left are superb but the subject itself does not do an awful lot for me but you have managed to convey a feeling of wind here. good luck

Looks like a storm is brewing. The clouds are awesome and the color is dreary looking. Good luck! 9

The windmill isn't quite dark enough, but the sky is gorgeous.

Technically, it's not a bad photograph, but it's not really a silhouette. Also, the windmill is tilting a little to the left which is somewhat distracting.

Cool silhoutte motion, don't normally see motion like that in a silhoutte. Sweet background as well, although IMO it is a bit off color.

Nice silhouette. Love the motion blur. Gorgeous clouds. Great color - feels more natural than some others I've seen. Good job.

Sky may be a bit "overdone", but still a very nice picture.
