I wanted to capture this old windmill before there's nothing left of it. I don't know if they're going to break it down or not but there are definately no signs of restoration. Love to hear your critiques and comments on this one. Greetings, Peter

Nice light. The reflection works well for this shot. Looks like an old Flemish painting. Good work.

The moment is well chosen, as you achieve almost like a spotlight effect on the lovely old windmill! A pleasant and well balanced composition with fine details, good sense of depth in the scene, not to forget the fine mirror effect by help of the small puddle -

Great photo. The exposure's great, though a little bright in the top right of the structure. I'd be interested to see a slightly wider crop. I see why you included the road, but I think the structure could better be a little further off center. Nice shot!

Nice choice of a vertical composition. Good reflection. I love the darkness of the foreground, it adds both depth to the shot and depth of emotion. The tree or weed on the left that runs out of the frame is a distraction that I wish wasn't present.

Well composed, very sharp and lovely evening colors ans subtle lighting, possibly try trimming a fraction from the foreground

Nice image, Peter. I love the reflection in the water and the placement in the frame (composition). My only issue is that I wish the sky were saturated a bit more, as it is a bit washed out. Nice job. I hate when they knock things like this down.
