Craig, although the greens in the foreground don´t have an entirely natural look, you contrasted them nicely to the grey of the clouds! The windmill pronounces the weather conditions well. I like the overall impression.

I like all the repeated shades of yellow in this image. Gives the image a painterly feel and adds interest IMO. The clouds and spinning blades reflect the weather.

The sunlit foreground contrasts nicely with the dark clouds. I also like the balance between the windmill and the sea stack in the distance. Excellent image.

Interesting composition. The windmill seems to have a symmetry with the island in the distance. The overcast sky and overall look is quite striking. Nicely done.

As others have pointed out, the symmetry between the windmill and sea stack work well. I also like the golden glow of the foliage.
