I think you need to try and work on isolating one part of the horizon, there's just too much going on in these shots. It's a shame the trees are there because if the turbines were just dotted around it'd make a great shot

Dunno how long your longest lens is, but I'd be tempted to try and get just one or two turbines in the shot, maybe in portrait format, or even trying to get in a lot closer so you get a large expanse of sky against an individual turbine

Here are a couple of portrait ones with just turbines in. The horizon is actually a hedge. Its not possible to get a clear view of the turbines without trespassing.

I know the wire should be removed but when I tried, I messed it up so I'm afraid its still there.

I do have a longer lens I can try next time. I've spotted another place that might give a better view.
