Well seems to me you centered it and probably shouldn't have. I know it is hard but try and crop it so the windmill is off to the left or right and maybe do it in landscape. That should addd some pop to it. It is a great image just wanted to let you know I have a hgrad time off centering as well and sometimes it looks good to center a subject and other times it needs to be thrown off center. You just have to find that happy medium.

sometimes flares work in a picture... i think here it doesn't. it's not easy to get rid of them though. still good enough for an 8.

This might be one of those shots where you could have cropped out half the sun. I like the strong lines of the windmil and the cloud bank down below.
