Have you done any PP on this image because it looks as if it needs a good dose of levels and curves.

different crop and light PP

I prefer the colors in the original. Maybe a boost in saturation and just a bit of contrast increase would help? I think the PP photo looks very blue.

It is very nicely composed, but it appears that there is too much magenta which is muting the greens and making the yellows shift towards the reds (or something like that). Anyway, the colors are slightly off and that may be what makes it look slightly flat. It is a great image and I think that you can rescue it.

This is my edit although what others have done seem better than this.

Exactly what I was thinking. Slight crop as well.

Uneasy to make it real working because the ground level is a bit messy. Agree also with the magenta cast, although I did not succeed at a color correction as good as already posted.

What about a very different crop?
I like the crows on it.

Ok, I'll give it a shot too. top cropped

I might have framed the shot differently - so that the "face" of the windmill is looking into the image, and not out of the edge of the frame.

I like the WM on the right side MUCH better. We westerners read from left to right; with it on the left my eye seems to just stay there. With it one the right it scans the entire image before it stops on the WM. I also like it with a touch more contrast like some of the edits.

OK, well now how bout this: On the right and looking into the frame.

Just added a little contrast here and there and warmed the scenery:

Can I ask how you all loaded such large photos? With the 150kb limit, the size I have on there is the largest I could get. I rarely put photos on this site due to the limit, but I notice so many people have figured out a different way. Do you all have websites that you post it to first and then link the photos you're showing here to that site?

Thanks,
D

SPEAKING ONLY IN REFERENCE TO THE COPY YOU WILL BE POSTING: Do NOT save the jpg at "High" quality. Save it at a Medium or even Low. In almost all cases that will be fine for posting.

To me, the colors don't particularly add to the photo.so I went B&W:confused:

Take the original photo and throw a black->transparent gradient map over the sky and change the blend mode to one of the soft-light/overlay to bring out the deep blues in the sky.

Basically... simulate and ND filter. Would make the photo look really really good.

Much appreciated everybody. I will work on some new edits.
