That's a beautiful area...
We were fortunate to have driven through a couple of times and the geography is outstanding...
As a general statement there seems to be some wind ; )
The colors and tones are very nice... particularly the sky.
Excellent and welcome to the forum...

I did a double take.
You did good to capture this scene so well! Any information to share about the shot?
cheers

I like this a lot.
What processing did you do? To my eye the shadows are lifted just a bit more than I would have, and/or the greens and blues are oversaturated. Great vista--the disappearing road is excellent.

Thanks all!
Funny, when I used to post here years ago this was the only forum that commented on my supposedly over saturated greens. The greens are what they are in California in the spring. Rye grass becomes almost neon when exposed to the sun. However, my style is to boost colors by one to two points for effect. Shadow detail is high for an almost 3D effect. Photos like these are best seen on large iMacs and non compressed.
When I first saw your recent posts, the photos reminded me of someone...
I believe one of your photos is included in the recent video of images from "PhotoForum Images: May 2012-April 2014: Part 01", and another example in Part 02 which will be posted next week... It's very good to see you again!!
Don't believe all the comments ; )

And, yes, I will think about the greens and blues.
Someone has put a bug in my ear and I'm going to revisit post processing on this photo soon. 
i have a different take......
.....in terms of nature, a wind farm is a surreal concept. The image captures a surreal theme. Yes, I can see the point made about teh shadows being lifted and the greens/blues, but actually, the way you have porrtrayed it catches the surreality of the subject just perfectly. I wouldn't touch it! It is superb.
My initial reactions were "Wow!" followed quickly by the same feelings as expwmbat's...
with just a touch of "overbaked" thrown in.
More and more I think these types of shots are as much about my personal (negative) biases as they are about a photograph or style.
Your comments and ongopt's really gave me some pause...especially your surreal point. In that mindset I totally agree...
It is a masterful shot, no question, my comments are more personal preference than "critique"...
Glad to see you back, ongopt!
