 Was going to use this as my 'From a Distance' challenge entry, but decided against it in the end. I wanted to take some bracketed shots and create a HDR image but because the turbine blades were moving I couldn't.

How many shades of orange can you have in one picture? :) Nicely done. Might do great as a stock photo for renewable energy.

I wonder if this would have been better with the sun cropped out?

Very interesting use of silhouette. Not your typical seascape.

Beautiful warm tones and I can hear calypso music playing the background even though I'm looking at wind turbines.

I wish you had waited for the sun to be a bit lower (which probably would have also mean you would have needed to move more to the right), so that you could have cropped closer in on the wind turbines, particularly on the sides.

Great use of negative space. 3 forms of renewable sources of energy in the same picture, what else would you need?
