        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 ๐Ÿ˜†

            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.

                          Majid,
                          These are excellent,I particularly like the long landscape with the context of the surrounding area.
