Lunar Windmill

It feels like I'm looking at a windmill on the moon or a foreign planet. The moon in the background serves to give a stronger sense of connection to space and encourage this feeling, while the piece of fence in the foreground brings me back to earth. I like the effect. The low contrast of the "tail" of the windmill (I've no idea what the proper term is) against the sky makes my eye search for it until I have a firm model of its shape in my mind. Overall, well done.

Please let me know what you think. Thanks, D.

Incredible. I agree with Jeromie about the extraterrestrial feeling I get from looking at this: the windmill almost looks like it could be a lunar module!

 

The sky is a bit too half-and-half with the ground for me: perhaps a bit more sky would have balanced the composition. (Keep in mind, I am perhaps too tied to the rule of thirds at times.)

 

All in all, this is an exceptionally atmospheric, powerful shot. Excellent work.

I like clam mood. I like to see a bigger moon, more upper space for the sky and a moving winmill. BW Tonning is great already.

 

do you ever look at any of your landscape shots and say to yourself "i do the type of shots that people aspire to do.."... because you do....superb

well done - 6/6

i think the top three quarters is really splendid. the line running left to right and little bit of clutter on the bottom left detract though. can't do anything about it, i know. but the bottowm quarter pulls away from the main subject matter cuz its lighter. you need the legs though. i'd consider dulling, darkening some down there, as i think about it . . .

Great concept, great shot, fantastic stuff! Lunar feeling is awesome. Nice work.
