When driving along the motorway after a day of continuous dull grey skies, I finally saw a break in the clouds just after sunset. Immediately got off the motorway and went to one of my favourite locations, and reached it just in time to catch these colours and silhouettes.

There was a third windmill in this shot, but so far to the right that it didn't help the composition at all, so I cropped it out. Apart from that only minor tweaks, noise reduction and some cleaning.

Lovely and silhouetted!! Good colours
Dave

Lovely colour and the silhouette works very well indeed. I think you could have cropped the top quite a bit without harming the overall effect. Smashing shot anyway.

Hmmm, Dave, I think you just might be right about the crop. Thanks!

And thanks, everyone else!

I like the silhouetted windmills and the band of golden colour.

Great sky and sihouettes. The area of cloud adds to the whole composition to create a great scene.

Hi Conrad
Thanks for the feedback! I thought i would take a look at some of your work, I guess I have a lot to learn.
Good use of colour, the silhouette of the windmills is superb.
