Love the colors and composition of this shot... Its great how the wind vane is pointing the same direction as the tree is leaning. I have been trying to work out what is written on it but it is too worn out to tell!

This is the kind of area that cries out for an extended visit. The small creek runs down to a pool behind the rocky beach, sea and waterbirds inhabit the area, egrets and herons flew up into the tree as I approached. the windmill has more angles to explore, the dry hills and cattle on the ranch property across the highway, fog rolls in and out.

A cool picture, like a haiku. Great dilaphidated windmill, and the hand in glove fit with the wind shaped tree is great.
My initial reaction to the shot was, in all honesty, it might be better if we were furthur away from the subjects. Or it would be better without the tree. The frame seems cramped--too much stuff in a tableau which cries out loneliness.

Nice photo but the tree competes with the weather vane too much for me.

Good photo, nice and sharp and good colour. IMHO less of the tree and more of the wind mill would look better to me.
Well done.

There's broken, and then there's so broken and fouled up that it becomes hilarious. Even the way the trees are leaning away from the windmill makes it look like they are regarding it askance. I enjoyed this shot a lot.

Well I suppose it has been superseded by the latest generation of wind farms.

Very pretty, and I like the way the main colours in the limited palette are each in bold blocks (am I making ANY sense here?).

Another title might be "Who broke wind?" =)
This photo consists of two subjects, neither of which is dominating the frame.
I think the windmill alone is sufficient for the picture, with a different angle/time of day?

A good example of the passage of time, things don't last forever do they?

A good subject for the challenge but the trees seem the subject of the photo. A different angle would have made the windmill more prominent. These are even better when you stand near them, they squeak and groan in the breeze and haunt the immediate area with noise.

Actually, it's quite tall grass/weeds, with some thistles. I was able to shoot from this side because there is an access road/path that leads to a culvert exiting from under the highway and to the beach. But the dead weeds surrounding the windmill are actually well over head high and moving arround to the other side would have been difficult. I'm not a huge fan of ticks and other bugs so didn't feel like crushing through it to try to get a diferent angle. The other side wouldn't give a view of the Aeromotor Company legend on the rudder(?). I tried some without the tree and silhouetted against the hillsides but liked this one best. I trimmed it from this:

for me the composition is not completely right. the mill should 'look' into the picture instead of to the border of the frame. however I guess it was difficult to move the tree...

Good looking image. I bet the tumbleweeds look great at full size (they look a little mushy here from downsizing -- some higher USM might help with that...). The comp is a bit weird -- there seems to be too much blue on the left... and not enough on the right. Hm. Perhaps it is that there are in fact two subjects here that is throwing me off. Not sure. Still, a well captured moment.
