[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A windmill taken in 2005 during a weekend in France, Bretagne coast.
And I made 7 of this nightsky before I liked one.
I wanted some 'grain' on purpose for this photo.
Bye

Terrible grain / noise...
Seb

love the mood created josine :)
the comp and colors look good
i don't mind the grain and noise, cause thats just the camera :)
nice work

I like the noise/grain. It gives the pic that old painting look. Great colours and great focus on the solitary windmills. This is stunning.

Hoi Josine,
I like this kind of sunsets in a techo surrounding. The windmill is nicely contrasting agains the sky. One thing, the image is a little pixelated. Refer my WS to see the difference.

Hans


Thanks for your comment on my photo Touch Down!

Hallo Josine.
Een ondergaande zon is al gouw mooi, dus de compositie bepaald het geheel. Deze is goed geslaagd en erg mooi.

Hi Josine...I guess Seb didn't read your notes. I find it interesting that when some people step away from their normal type of shots and load an image such as this they attarct so many negative comments. Well done for being so brave. Good colour, superb silhouettes and well composed. TFS,
David

Hello Josine,
this shot is very well composed I like the POV and the wonderful silouhette of the windmill. I do like the grain in this shot, but I think it would have more impact if the contrast would be a bit darker.
Well done.

**/tomorrow sorry

Hoi Joos
Tjonge wat een mooie nightshot. Als ik de reacties lees heb je voor en tegenstanders met het wat 'korrelig zijn' van de foto. Wel ik had het ook zo gedaan, het geeft een speciaal effect. Groetjes

Nice shot with a great mood. Tried to give the image a different kind of grain in a workshop. Hope you like it!

Hi Josine,

This is a very good cpture of a magnificent sunset, captured in your frame with good composition. My feeling is that the noise reduces the dramatic effect of the lights on the sky.

Thank you for your comments on my photo, "Turning to Gold". I appreciate it.

Hello Josine
Amazing composition and a fantastic shot. The colors are warm as well as cool too. the silhouettes are very interesting.
The noise and grain is no such problem as it is shot in low light.

PS

Hi Josine,

Despite the noise, your composition is full of lovely colours and creates a great, romantic atmosphere!! Nice POV and contrast!
Well done!

Hello Josine,
A fine dynamic composition!
A bit too noisy for my taste, but good colours...
Greetings,
Pablo -

a little blure but it is superb...i like the colors... TFS

This is the modern age windmill. Personnaly, I think the good old windmills were better looking.
I like how the picture was taken so that we see the silhouette of the windmill opposing a nice cloudy and yellowish/redish sky. We have the four elements in this picture (wind, fire, earth and air).

Sylvain

Hi Josine,

Wonderful capture of sunset and colors. Love the composition. TFS. Vandana

beautiful colors, and a very peaceful photo. This windmills sure are giants..great shot. TFS
Donna :o)


thanks for your comments on my Still life Teddy..:o)

A good moody picture Josine. You have captured the sky perfectly and the composition, with the (not so traditional) windmill is great too!
Good Luck!

Hi Josine

Yes, there is some grain, but aside from that minor technical imperfection, mood definitely rules here! Wonderful composition, with the silhouetted wind turbine blades, & superb warm sunset colours. Tfs!

Hi
Excellent idea of this shot.Beautiful colours.
Congratulations.

Hi Joos,
Very nice composition and colors, but I myself am not really into grainy sky. I can't help thinking this noise (or at least a part of it) was "created" while re-sizing. If You'd like to avoid it, try to use gaussian blur on the sky - but this is probably You know by Yourself.
Except for the grain / noise this is a great photo.
Merry X-mas, respectfully Yours, László
