Talk about sweeping grand scale landscape! Those huge windmills seem so insignificant here. Beautifully expressed and captured, Stan!

Wonderful capture. This looks great in the pano format. That sky is awesome with all that motion!

Really neat image Stan. Those windmills look like little fence posts in this pano.

THIS is the shot I was looking fo after your post on ES&S. FANTASTIC Stan! I love all of your storm chasing images, but this one rises to the very best for it's sweeping scope and the feeling it gives me of the endless expanses of the plains. The captures the feeling of the 'big sky' country of the plains.

Now that is a supercell for sure. the contrast between the dark and later tones really bring out the three-dimensional qualities in this image. Nice choice as well to go with the panoramic.

Stan, this is just fantastic and a perfect candidate for a pano. The aspect giving the turbines that tiny insignificant look to good ole mother nature is great!

spectacular, stan. love the scale (indicated by wind farm) and the drama. could be made more punchy, if you so desired, by touch of darkening.
