Have at it! All comments, critiques, suggestions, and edits welcome.

Went to visit my parents and decided to stop and take a few pictures of this that I've passed probably a couple hundred times in the last 6 or 7 years.
Maybe not the best decision since it was 20 degrees out and I had ALSO decided not to wear a jacket that day.

I like I like!!! What's that thing on the left? Maybe would look better if it was cropped out.

Thank you for sharing!

A little editing. Mostly just curves and some dodging and burning. Really no setup, just hand held. It was very bright out, so it was shot at ISO 100 f/8 and 1/640 if I remember right (I don't have iexif on this PC at the moment, but exif should be in tact.

The thing on the left I believe is just dead branches and grass. I liked the little bit of open space, so I don't think I want to crop it out, but I may give cloning it out a shot.

Edit: Oh, I'm betting you mean the wind generator tower. There wasn't any actual propeller assembly on it, or I would have included it on purpose, but yeah, I should just crop that out. Thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks for the kind comments guys.

Interesting color effect -- sort of reminds me of Technicolor. It seems to work well here. I haven't figured out the title yet -- what does "Cliche" refer to?

Nice 3 dimentional efect here, as its been said the frame should go on left.
Shame the corridoor of clouds on left didnt lead to something more interesting though,but hey ho that would of been just perfect for me.
It keeps giving everytime i look at it .
Good show!
