The color is stunning. I like the balance of the image. The figures in the foreground look like they are frozen in place; a somewhat mysterious thing. I like the strong horizontal and vertical lines. One might argue that wind turbines have no place in a classic landscape, but you have clearly balanced the man-made and natural elements into a dramatic statement. While I understand the need to sign your work, I find the text at the bottom of the image distracting. This certainly could be used to promote renewable energy sources. Overall, a strong statement and pleasing image. Nice work!

As others have already noted, very stunning colours, and a pleasant view, at least to me. If anyone complains about these, I'd LOVE to pay them a visit, in my Bagger 288.

Not that is something that would ruin the landscape and probably their lawn forever

Since the coal is now being delivered by trains far uglier than any wind farm, I say the more the better

As long as they are kept away from truly picturesque locations I don't see a problem.

Lovely color. I have no objections to wind farms. There are rotor designs that are wildlife friendly...
