One of my favourites to win. But you have stiff opposition. This is too beautiful for words. Good luck

In the vast fields stand,
towering, timber flowers.
Their four petal vanes
spin in a harmonious cycle
with the path of the sun.
They rise and they set.


Absolutely beautiful lighting - rich red/orange hues. I love the silhouettes of the windmills. It struck me that they are like large wood flowers facing the sun. Their mill house motion to grind the grain follows the the repetitive cycle of the sun rising and falling.

No words. Wonderful colors, interesting silhouettes, nice illumination of the water, and incredible light-painted grasses.

really nice autumn feel to this one, being windmills i like to see less foreground and more sky. for instance if you put the windmill on the bottom left third point.

Great colors and sharpness here. If it were possible to catch some light behind more of the plants in the foreground to the left it would be perfect, Good luck!

Its a good shot but I would prefer this cropped a little to lessen some of the very heavy black.
