Pertinent Technical Details

My screenshot doesn’t want to upload. Canon R5, 100-500 lens at 500. 1/3200 sec, f/8, ISO 400. Just some slight tonal tweaking minor lightening of the darker area at the top, NR and slight motion blur removal in Topaz Denoise and Sharpen. Slight crop from right to remove a distracting cloud edge.

A cool look at these turbines, Diane. Kind of emphasizes the contrast of machine vs, nature!

Diane, a very nice and different view of wind turbines . It almost seems like they were creatures poking their heads through the clouds. Very nicely seen and edited. Thanks for sharing.

OMG. This is way to COOL. You have out done yourself… So simple and yet so powerful. YES !!!

Diane: For a lot of reasons I hate these things but this is a terrific image. Simple but very effective comp and a fine result. >=))>

I dislike wind turbines with a passion, but like Bill, I think this is a wonderful image. The cloud edges just make me want to jump in.

The simple, but very thoughtful composition is marvellous.

Thanks, @Mark_Muller, @holgermischke, @Gill_Vanderlip, @Bill_Fach and @glennie! I always regret not taking the time to circle and shoot more purposefully. We always seem to be on a tight schedule and I’ve gotten used to doing drive-by shootings.

In the Moment. That’s the best photography. Catch it now. The light and surroundings will change. You caught the Moment. Most Important

Wonderful use of negative space and minimalism

The two turbines surrounded by clouds says a lot about the current state-of-the-world. The turbines are well placed, while the structure of the clouds keep the rest of the frame interesting.

Thanks, @Paul_Hetzel and @Mark_Seaver! Mark, I didn’t even think about it, but I see your point about the state-of-the-world. Maybe I should invert the image?? Hmmm – why not? Dinner just ended and I’m mellowed out by my daily stress-relief “meds”. Sorta looks like something out of “Oppenheimer”.

Wow! The “meds” have really kicked in! I think I’ll stick with your OP. LOL
