Hello my dear,

Another great shot from you, I know what you mean, there is something about windmill that make one go nuts with it... hehehe, I mean me! I love to see them too, I think they are great! Here you have a wonderful composition, with the water and the windmill and great farm house just around the conner, exellent captured. TL friends over there are wonderful... and I have a chance to meet up with one of them too. :)

Thanks for sharing

Cheers,

Nice painting like composition, but I'm not sure I like the frame to it (I think it would have looked better with a dark one).

Hi Vandana,
And what a beautiful capture this is. The over cast sky adds to the mood. I think its not only the windmill, but the surrounding area that also adds to the beauty of the picture. The good old feel. Well done.

Hello Vandana didi,

You have beautifully presented a Dutch legend i.e. wind mills. I dont know who invented it, but during my child hood I always identified NL with windmills. An excellent composition, well done.

Thanks for sharing this image.

I like the typical Dutch seeing here, Vandana. I like the frame too. Maybe, I would put the mill not in the middle, but a little bit more to the right. But still very nice picture to watch.

Best regards,

Don

Hi Vannie,
Yeah, good memories my dear, first day for you in Holland and soooooo many mills :-)
This one you "catched" in the little village of Aarlanderveen, indeed not far from Alphen aan den Rijn (were my parents were born). Regarding your posting, I think a tad more saturation, some adjustmet of the midtones and decreasing the brightness might improve it. I could have made a WS to show the difference, but you switched of the WS ability.
Nontheless a superb and neat posting my dear.

NB: Have a safe flight back home!

Too bad the weather wasn't really that great, Vandana, the colours look a bit flat...
Nice compo, showing not only the beautiful windmill but also my favourite kind of tree: a weeping willow ;o).

P.S.: Windmills in Belgium too, you know!

Hi Vandana,
I'm back to admire this one again; I thought I had already critiqued it, but must not have. Nice color saturation, and wonderful sharp details on this classic Dutch windmill.
All the best,
Karen

Hello Vandana, are you back from your hollidays?
This is a great picture of the windmills even if it is your first one.
Nice colours, good space around the palms and good pov.

Take care and I hope you are well!

Kissing succeeded, Vandana ! ;-)
Very good photo of this mill. The image is clear and sharp. The colors are very real.
I think I would have placed the mill a bit more to the right in the photo. Then there is a bit more space to the left of the mill. But oke, the house next to the mill is also interesting....
greetings,
Joop!

Hi Vandana,
I like the sharpness of the image it's been well taken as is usual of your photographs.
Though personally, I think the composition could have been made more interesting by not placing the windmill in the centre - trust me :-)
