Interesting idea, I would have liked it better if the blades were focused better.

Wow, stunning light. Wish the horses weren't all facing away.

The lighting is certainly dramatic. And the horses definitely add to the photo. I think it might have been stronger if it had been cropped below where the clouds start to lighten.

Certain kinds of subjects and treatments are really hard to present well in 640 pixels shots. Where the strength of a photo lies in subtle textures across vast expanses of space, the lack of resolution can really take its toll. I have the impression that some of that is going on here. I think, for instance that the texture in the earth is beautiful but I can just barely make it out. I imagine that the texture in the beautifully lit hills is probably quite beautiful, but in this presentation it looks a little flat. Perhaps some creative burning would enhance the texture.

The raw material in this photo is among the best in this competition IMO. I think it falls just a little short of taking full advantage of its potential.
