Awesome shots, Trey. I think even wide shots need something in the foreground to "anchor" the shot. The windmill provides a nice balance. If anything, I might suggest lighting the windmill even more. Obviously with the longer exposure it was a still night, but I think a blurred (spinning) windmill blades would have added some affect.
As for wide angle, Casey and I both have the Tokina 11-16 f/2.8. I probably use it more than Casey (probably because I've lost faith in my Tamron 17-55), but I like having the ultra-wide capability. I decided I don't want any lens slower than 2.8, but I think if you could get away with a "slower" lens, it would be with the ultrawide. I imagine the 12-24/4 is probably a little more economical than a 2.8 aperture.
