Windmills at Zaanse Schans, Holland.
Just wondering if this composition cuts the mustard with the pros! (^_^)
I shot this on the preset Landscape Mode. A screw-in circular polarizer is used. Sharpening and minor tonal adjustment in Adobe Lightroom 3.

I agree with Ann, re-crop to remove the road, it adds nothing and takes your eye away from the main subject. Otherwise I like it. David
I'd lose the road and most of the black cloud.
Also, this looks oversaturated to me. I'm not sure whether that's caused by the 'landscape pre-set' or the polarizer but I've clawed it back a bit in my mod. Firstly using the yellow channel only, to remove the greenness from the grass, then the blue channel to tone down the sky. That's had the knock-on effect of toning down the orange roofs and the green building in the middle.
Hope this helps.
Bren.
Edit. The bottom right hand corner still looks a bit bleak. It could do with a dog lying there.
This is perhaps a little over-saturated but some do like that sort of effect, it certainly makes for some punch and drama especially when printing off.
The main problem here for me is the composition, but that is easily rectified by a change in format to landscape.

All these things are down to personal taste.
But for myself I would have done a square crop and finished up with something similar to 'Jestertheclown'
