I took this one from the outskirts of Oklahoma City. Let me know what you think, CC welcome. Here (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3311/3484715165_046fb82989_b.jpg) is a larger version.

Most of the subject matter seems crowded around the edges of the shot. Very harsh, shooting into the sun like that... not normally recommended. And the horizon seems to be tilted... perhaps rotate clockwise a degree or two... though that will make the windmill tild further inwards and away too... that's happening because you're angling the camera upwards which causes all sorts of nasty distortion. The colours you've captured are quire unusual. What post-processing have you done on this? Cheers, Tony

Tony is spot on, leveling the horizon does tip the windmill more..tried this, but it still looks like its going to fall over:(

It's not a bad shot, though I would like to see a smaller aperture used to bring out the "sunburst" effect in the sun. I'd also like to see more of the windmill thingy in the frame, and not cut off. Personally like the grass detail
