Photograph depicts parts of the SES/Astra uplink station near Betzdorf, Luxembourg. They don't exactly do SETI, but it was closer to home than Arecibo ;)

I would have liked to seen it from greater distance / wider angle. Open up the frame a big and not crop the dishes. Keep the dishes in the bottom right 3rd maybe. Not sure if that was possible. To me the dishes are not as interesting as the contrast between the trees and sky.
I have no idea, how did you achieve such effect in Basic, but it is simply great. The composition is very good. Light and sky are dramatic, they add to the mood. I love the wood in the background. Just the "Astra" sign is distracting.
