Challenge: Hidden Gem -- 1,000th Challenge! (Advanced Editing VII*)
Camera: Olympus C-50Z
Location: Queensland
Date: Jul 15, 2004
Aperture: 4.8
ISO: 80
Shutter: 1/40
Galleries: Sky, Landscape
Date Uploaded: Mar 10, 2009

 This was pretty much as I took it, except I saturated the sky a little, cropped along the bottom, unsharp mask,resized the image to fit DP requirements.

I was just driving along the countryside when I spotted these two windmills against the sunset, quickly hopped out and took some photos in quick sucession. It was a choice between this one, or another with a lone windmill in a vertical shot, with the moon above it. It's been a while since I entered a challenge so there you go. I can't remember the exact date it was taken so have used the 15th.

great use of light and silhouettes, capturing the two windmills almost seems to give it a visual echo effect.

I like the far mill repeating the foreground one. And the sky is beautiful. I would have excluded the dark clouds bottom right if it were me. But, it wasn't. :)

Like the echo and implied conversation between the two windmills, and the contribution in that conversation from the clouds. Nice night on the prarie for all involved!
