I really like #4 the colors with the contrast of the black silhouettes.  Very small critique is to have positioned yourself to separate the tree and windmill so their silhouettes weren't overlapping. Even so I really like it.

I like #19 too!

G'day bijutoha

Thanks for your 'thanks' .... and yes, this collection is just a grab-bag of images from over the years ~ pics that appeal to me and which I hope others here will enjoy looking at for a moment or two

and Khelm
Also thanks for your appreciation ...

Windmills and sunrise / sunset / delicious clouds are one of the many things that make us photographers come home with a good feeling ... 'hey I've grabbed a beaut shot today'

Thankyou Monica - pleased to hear from you

With Oz being in virtual lockdown now for 4-6 weeks or so, with only excursions allowed to the shops for food or essential services or personal exercise so long as 'social distancing' is followed ... it means that the opportunities for escape for photography are few and far in between

As a household we are keeping local cafes busy via take-away meals thru the week - whereas normally we would DIY at home, but we just want to keep them and their core staff going

G'day all

Just wanted to say a collective "thank you" to all here for your feedback to the images posted over the past couple of weeks. 

If you are also in 'lockdown' then I hope that it is an enjoyable though momentary diversion from an otherwise quiet day around the house!

Anyway here's several more
