This is what I came up with. I still think it is an ironic picture.

Actually I thought it would be great for tourism, if they could put the tourists on the windmill and use it as a catapult to send them to the power lines and they could be a big Zip Line.
The part of the lines that go way down in the bottom are not visible, but it could be a new extreme sport!!

Which power source would you prefer?
I found it interesting to get all 3 in one shot, but it needed some work.

  Interesting shot Beth. I guess I'm missing something because I don't see a third power source.

I prefer your first crop because of how the lines lead into the image from the corner. You lose that in the crop. I see why you did it but it can be corrected in other ways.

The tower now leans to the left instead of the right but the windmill looks OK. Some noise reduction coupled with a bit of levels correction to add a bit more definition would help also.

Ok, I give up. What is the third source? And can I be the first to ride the zip line? Cool idea.

  Beth I agree with Dale on this one. The first crop has better composition than the after shot. I am also missing the third power source.

Very interesting photo with the windmill, power lines, and moon all in one shot. Also looks like a great time of day to capture that deep indigo sky. Either just before sunrise or just after sunset, this is a nice shot that illustrates what a great sky you can get.

Thank you Peter!! As an Er Nurse of many years I will tell you that the Moon has tremendous powers!! Just ask anyone that has ever worked on the Full Moon!! Speaking of which I work the next couple days and I am sure it will be Crazy!!
I reworked this picture, not sure if I got it any better! This was just at sunset and the sky was gorgeous, I managed to get some awesome sunset pictures I will post later.
