Great shot, maybe a little work with the levels would give it more punch

this is imposing and has a sense of huge scale.

Not sure that this really fits in a shape challenge. The first thing I see is repetition which isn't really the same thing. Lovely shot though!

I'm giving you a ten...this is awesome. Just a suggestion...if you cut off the slice of land at the bottom, it could have been even stronger in shape?

people don't like these...they say they spoil the environment. I love them! They do a great job and they look fantastic. You have captured this well

There are so many things to enjoy in ths image; the diagonals that lead you around and around, the multi-level hues of the mountains, the vertical repetition of the windmills. The problem is nothing screams shape and I'm left with linearities and patterns. Keeping the topic in mind, I can't score this as much as I like it.

I like the the idea of this but it seems way underexposed.

Ooh yes. Very nice. Shame about the haze -- wouldn't it be nice if we could get our days to order when we wanted to go out shooting? But you've composed this beautifully. 8.

Try cropping the bottom just below the furthest windmill the bottom distracts
