I would like to also mentioned that Mike was with me on this photo outing and had actually suggested I take this shot with my telephoto lenses with the concept being that my longer focal length lens (400mm) would give the visual effect of "compressing" the distance between the long row of power poles in front of the small country windmill. Thanks for the idea Mike! I think the end result was just the way you visualized it. #11244146

Hey, it was just my idea, but your the one who pulled it off with the wonderful execution ... :-) #11244149
