I started my year off by taking a cross country trip from Wilmington, NC to Portland OR. Out of all the places I went or saw this was my favorite. The funny part is that I ended up here on accident. I never intended to pass by these mountains and if I hadn't I would have missed the wind farm.

This is quite interesting. It looks like a night shot to me with the dark clouds, but unless the turbines were all off I don't think it was.

Overall there are a few problems although I think you had a good idea. Overall processing seems a bit rough. There are spots on the right edge which look like burn marks. I'm not sure what that is. This color sky is not my favorite. Maybe it's personal preference, but I don't like light cyan as a sky color. The dark clouds are really interesting, but I wish they were a little sharper.

I'm guessing you were hampered in where you could stand to take the picture. Otherwise I would have walked closer to the turbines so they would have commanded more of the frame.

To sumarize, an interesting idea, especially if it is a night shot. The technical problems with the sky probably are the biggest limiting factor here.

I like the purple/blue tone, and the windmills look like a grove of trees.
