[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This mill is on the only (little) hill you can find in the southern Dutch village "Ijzendijke", about 3 kms. from the Belgian border, at less than 20 kms. from the North-Sea (14 kms. from my home).
Ijzendijke is this summertime "flooded" by German tourists when it's a little to cold on the beach.
PP : a small crop at the bottom, necesarry sharpening after resizing, no other changes (original colors etc...).

A beautiful shot of this dutch mill. Just with the right colours, the orange roofs, the bleu sky, the green grass,the white mill and ofcourse the church!!

Well done! Goed gedaan!

Greetings Luc
Colors and contrast between the mill and sky well captured and presented. Only one suggestion would be to move the mill further to the left to get it a bit more off center. Just an opinion.

I really love these colors Luc! Such typical "Dutch" sky and lovely scenery.
I do think that I might have cropped off the left trees... just to prevent the mill to be in the center of the picture. It will make the composition so much stronger!
Just try if you like it... ;-)
What I also like very much here is the shadows of the windmill's blades on the white painted body.... just great!

By the way... did you know, that when the windmill's blades are held still in this position it means that the owner of the mill is in mourning??

Cheers!
Anneke

Bonjour Luc,

Un bien joli moulin que celui ci, sur un fond nuageux éclairé de bleu, c'est vraiment réussi!
Amitiés
Odile
