Windmill at Naxos

The original photo was taken by day, with a very harsh lighting,

making a very flat and banal photo. I have changed the sky for this

twilight sky and turn the subject in silhouette. Perhaps the result

is scarcely less banal but I think more pleasant to watch. What do

you think of it ?

Your photo really has a nice harmony.

I think that you've got some wonderful photo editing skills ... will you show us the original two images (sky and windmill)? Thanks!!

Of course Lou Ann. There is the original windmill.

And this is the sunset sky I have used.

COOL!!!! That's awesome, Henri!! I really need to work on my PS skills!! Someday......

You did a great PS job here. I would only consider to crop a bit the lower black side of the composition in such a way we only can see the base of the windmill.

Yes Michele, perhaps, but just a little, because I like to think that a tree, a windmill, or all other building possess a ground under its feet for it remains standing.

Henri, I think I would have tried to keep the sea as you have it already in your background. Here is what I mean done very quickly with my little PS hammer and chisel.

This is an excellent idea, Colin, and moreover obvious, and I am an ass to have'nt think to this.

This is a very beautiful manipulation!

And thanks for your comment to my "Dutch windmills"image!

Good work on PS and excellent idea !
