Some people don't like these things, so thought I'd do a shot that makes them look quite intimidating and oppressive.
What better than to get one that's really dominant in the foreground, as tall as the image, then have an army of them marching behind.
the sun to the left and the distant clouds made this shot for me really.
sometimes you sit back and think - yeah, that one works
this is one of them

cheers folks - you've restored my faith in the world 
I geuss the people who would love the second shot have not looked at the first cause the thumbnail would not be colourful enough 
Lots of comments too - often says a lot when that happens
Sometimes mate, you're just a bit of a ****ing cynic, aren't you?
I like it.
But then, I'm just a miserable **** at heart.
I like the horizontal lines in the clouds with the vertical turbines against them, the composition of the turbines, almost in pairs, and the fact that they are all different sizes.
I personally like them, when I look out my living room window I can get an instant indication of which way the wind is blowing, if at all...and that's from an engineer that has worked in every fossil fuel and Nuclear power industry there is.

V1 for me Ade, not keen on the sky colour or out of focus image of V2
Quote: out of focus image of V2
it may not have been sharpened after resize as I rushed it as a joke, but it's certainly not out of focus!!!!
Prefer the 1st image. A lot more dramatic and it "feels" more real. The 2nd image is slightly over saturated.
Definitely the mono-ish shot for me (1). Far more interesting. The dark, brooding sky, the impression of cyclopean eyes all staring towards the horizon behind the point of view, and the good motion-blur on the blades all work together very well.
The brightly coloured one is, by comparison, just a photo of some wind turbines.
there is no doubt - V1 is the best - it is outstanding, original, powerful, thought provoking and makes the viewer want to hang around and study it for a good length of time. V2 though good does nothing for me and makes me think of all the other sunset saturated bright coloured landscape shots that everyone flood the galleries day in day out. i love something original and different and V1 fills my needs 100% - the type of shot that should be getting the EC's, HC's and user awards - not the done to death style like V2.
if i took up landscape photography i would aim to achieve a V1 type image any time any day.
i hope i havent caused any offense, none at all was meant by my words and now i will shut up because i am waffling

I stand corrected Ade, should have read 'unsharp image of V2'.

Version two is a nice photo but version one is jam packed with mood, menace and feeling.
