Commenting as part of my Team Suck duties...

I commented on this during voting, and I have to now say, this is by far the most under rated, under appreciated image of the challenge, in that I think it deserves to finish MUCH higher, score MUCH higher than it did in the end. I think 6.8+ is more like where it deserved to be which would have put you in the top 10... in my books... even with the issues I highlighted in my original comment.

I love the composition... I love the colour of the sky. Hell, I like this so much, I think it deserves a fav.

Good looking corn field. Is this western Iowa where i see all those great wind turbines along I-80? The image is surreal, but I like your effort. 8

Yet the mill is not moving. Several parts of the image seem blurry (clouds, corn,... ), which doesn't work for me in this case.

Looks like an old piece of artwork, except for the contrasting element of the modern windmill.

Beautiful... Absolutely beautiful... Not exactly sure whats going on with the bottom of the corn. But the colors are just amazing and processing is great. 7/10

Great image. Composition is fantastic, the sky's colour is superb... the corn and grass just lack something... perfect otherwise. Initially a 7 which I later bumped to 8... don't be surprised if I bump it to a 9 by weeks end.

Not sure about the HDR part of it (I'm assuming it was used, and that works for me) but I really like the shot. The overlord and its loyal subjects...
