I like it. Maybe if you crop a little off the left it would look better?

Could have done with a few paces back, wider lens or a portrait capture. As is, its just a little too tightly cropped for my lliking.

Agreed. A more complete reflection of the windmill would nice.

A little bright for my tastes, but not bad.

I hate contrails!!!

I like it did you use filters?

At first I liked this shot, but there are a few things turning me off. The large windmill and the reflection got my attention right away. But after looking at it, the top of the windmill is too close to the top of the frame. The windmill all the way to the right is not needed - I'd crop that out. My eye gets drawn to it but then I'm looking at a lot of empty space with a non-descript windmill in the middle.

Looks like Hobbiton. It's a nice shot. I think the second windmill gives it depth. I do agree that I'd like to see a little more room for the top blade. It could be a problem if you print, matte, and frame it. I do have two quibbles. Time of day was not helpful here as the grass bank on the right side seems to be in shadow and throws off the balance of the shot. Secondly, I would try my hardest to clone out the contrails. The air space sure is busy in this location.
