Old Gristmill (B&W)

Andrew,

I like the composition, and overall it's an eyecatching piece, but my attention was immediately diverted to the stone wall coming down the left side. I would siggest toning that down slightly, which will bring out the mill and wheel a bit more. Very nice!

Andrew,

I wonder how this would look sepia'd, or even tri-toned with some warm hues?

I noticed that you had this picture both in B&w and color - and, comparing the two - I like this one more.

I love the texture of this photo, between the fieldstone walls and lower mill, to the wood of the upper mill, and the smooth facing of the wheel and bridge.

Because it is b&w, the eye is kept on the building, and doesn't get pulled into the greenery of the background.

very well done.
