This was taking on a weekend trip from OKC to Fort Worth and back again. That is the biggest sky I have ever seen! Wide open spaces, black angus and longhorn cattle and wildfires mark the vastness of the area.

"Oklahoma" is a nice fit into the Country Life challenge. Looks like something you might see on a country calendar.
I can defiantly see that you were able to capture the wide open sky. The blueness is very nice and fills the frame. I like your include of the windmill, it really makes the barn look small from this perspective. Excellent wide open spaces shot. I think this was a harder category, but at least you placed in the upper half. The only thing I would even suggest if possible try to take the shot from a lower angle giving that huge sky even more power in the shot.
Your subject has conflicting elements! What I mean is I think the subject is the wind mill, maybe the barn but on the right is half a bush competing with the subject.
I like your setting and subject. To me this feels like it needs something. It doesnt pop to me. Maybe more contrast or more saturation to the colors? Looks like it may be a little soft as well but that may be just me.
