Looks quite bleak, the treeline is windblown explaining the reason for placing the turbines at this site.

I was down at Herne Bay yesterday. They have lots of these offshore there.
I like the pp you've done. You can feel the bleakness.

A good subject matter, I like the PP/tones you've used on this shot.
This could be a good subject for tripod and slowish shutter speed to get a bit of blur in the turbine blades.

In my opinion they are damned eyesore and blot on the scenery. Also a total waste of money as they will never generate enough energy to fuel this nation.
Rant over
I like the bleak look of this image but think it would have benefited from a slower shutter speed to give some feeling of movement (motion blur) to the turbines. Assuming they were moving that is and if they were not, it just goes to prove my rant above
