This is an exceptionally nice image, immaculately processed and rendered. There's very little I can add to the comments already received. I have two nits, both minor:

1. The border may be overpowering it a little, but I can see why youw anted "wide black". I'd like to see it with 10-15% less border. I like the way your border is a tad wider on the bottom, nice touch.

2. The image might be stronger, especially in terms of the challenge, had you very carefully selected the windmills and goosed their brightness up a little.

I'd further comment that the overlap of tree and building on the right, and the way the mass of tree is completely filling the sky upper leftish, may not be optimum here. But I cans ee you may have had no choice in the matter. I'd be curious to see a sligtly wider version of the image, to see what's over there and how it might be integrated. The trunk of the tree, perhaps?

Overall, a simply excellent picture.

Robt.

David, an outstanding picture and one that I would have loved to see ribbon. Can you post more info about how you achieved such a dramatic effect: tones in the sky, contrast, overall impact?? It's quite striking and now added to my favs!

Beautiful. I think the border is a little too thick. Nothing wrong with the picture though

I like this picture very much, and I hope it does well in the challenge. I hope people do not vote it down because they don't see easily the "old and new" part.

Wild lighting situation! I like the picture, but I don't get the "old and new" of it.

My Favorite in this contest. Fantastic shot. It actually took me a second to see the windmills and then the picture was perfect! Well Done.

Really beautiful post-processing. I'd love to know how you did this. What you've done with the light is amazing. The only tiny thing negative I can say is that the frame is too thick for me. This is a good shot to show off with a very thin frame or none at all. The windmills in the background complete this shot.
