Greetings from the Critique Club!

The composition is really nice. It is framed well but could use a little tweaking with the crop. Following the rule of thirds (which can be broken--I know), I would scoot the windmill over to the left, and allow a tad more room at the top. These are minor issues comparatively.

Focus and DOF are good.

The biggest problem with this photo is the exposure. Most users, as I have found it, like to see nice even histograms with vivid color. The contents in this photo seems to be good candidates for these elements. I know the environment (setting of sun, or rising; I can't tell) may not be easy to accomplish this and fight the underexposure.

Also, the streak right next to the windmill blade is a little distracting as it seems out of place.

The big picture: I think you were on the right track with this photo, but with the challenging environment yielding some technical errors this photo performed mediocre in the challenge.

Keep up the good work though, do not get discouraged. Keep shooting!

Originally posted by Tez: Ya know, I can't believe this scored so low! I Love it. It's about time someone took the time (and courage) to submit something a little bit 'out there' and not the usual stuff. This is a great image man, you should be proud of it. Its simple, basic, but intriguing because of what seems like a leading line from the bottom left to the top right. I would boost the blacks a little bit, but that might take something away from it. It reminds me of a game called Rez on the Dreamcast. Be proud man, this is great. If you were famous it would be much hyped.

WAAAAAY under-rated.. This puppy flies in my book. I love the details in the hills/trees. But the competition was steep nonetheless. This just made my day...
