Windmills

David, brilliant as usual. One day etc etc. I sencerely hope your images earn you good money, giving them away like this must cost you a small fortune and I would rather look at YOUR work than the guff in the national gallery. At least your product has integrity.
As a side issue, these would make fantastic hdri images if there were a way to do so.

Thanks Mike,
Nearly everything I upload is purely a test,a version of how I would want to light a particular subject,sometimes they work,other times they don't.
For every image I upload I would have at least a half dozen that just don't work.
One of these days I will upload an image I am really happy with and once that happens,
thats it! I'm done! -
Nice!
And change the rotation ! -
Fantastic...

2 more images,the first is a version of the original older windmills set just before an upcoming storm.
The storm clouds are based on an image I downloaded from the net but darkened considerably on the right and used the dodge tool in photoshop to increase the brightness on the extreme left to add to the ominous mood,and pick up some highlights on the buildings themselves.
The second is a more american style wind generator.The building is one I have uploaded in multiple images previously.

Great images but I think you are doing yourself a disservice by keeping the sails vertical.
The language of sails is quite complex and what yours are saying is they are talking a short break but they are busy milling. You would almost never have multiple windmills saying that at the same time.
The diagonal cross position is the default for we have stopped milling. The one o'clock position is generally used to announce good news, a birth or a festival or some such and the 11 o'clock position is used to announce a death. You'll often find all the windmills in a region set in mourning for a funeral. There are many other coded positions, often used in combination with flags and other visual clues, that were used to spread news quickly around the area.

Looks like a nice day for jousting...
Beautiful images, as always, Davidh -
Wow. Incredible images. -
Great images.Light and sky especially.
RE the windmills, I guessed that multiple mills in a flat area meant they were pumping water out of tidal lands, not milling. Or do grain mills tend to congregate in the wastelands? I don't think we had them much in the US, did we? Water-driven mills were used.

I like the third image. It looks like the planet Tatooine from Star Wars
-
That iconic image from star wars was actually one of my references when doing the third image,particularly the sky colour and low orange sun -
here's a slightly different version!

One thing I would say about your version is that the birds are way too much prominent in the image.
If they were as close to the camera as your image would suggest,they wouldnt be as dark or lacking detail.The whole idea of my original image is that the landscape and sky reflected no movement - a snapshot of stillness.
I would also say that if you want to add movement in an image and want to add birds, - think about them as part of your idea rather just sticking some entourage in.
Give everything you add-in-post the same respect you give to your render. -
I think the crosses may be symbolic perhaps? Works for me.
-
Oops. Double post.
