Rick, the lighting is wonderful and I really like the contrast between the bright grasses and dark sky.
Wondering if you tried any more compositions while you were there? One thing I would have tried (if possible) would be to swing down-slope and to the right (only a few steps), enough to reposition the camera so the pump/windmill was more to the left - with the grasses opening up in front of the feature.
Nice moment - thanks for sharing!

That was the only shot. There was a barb wire fence in my way, so I was limited a bit. Also, I think I was so focused on putting the windmill in the thirds, I didn't take more than one shot.
I like your idea. The grasses leading into the windmill would have been good. Thanks for the tip.

A really nice looking shot with the lovely light and colour contrasts. Composition works well for me too.
