6 - (up from 5 on 2nd view) - For me, a shot of this put into a time capsule would depict a 'way of life' for this year and era for future generations. Criticism; whilst it is definitely more of an artistic shot than a 'depiction', in my opinion, I am wondering if the 'effects' have detracted from the intended 'era' 'capture' for the Challenge, just has more potential to capture the era, in my opinion. I would like to have seen this cropped to cut out that sign(?) on the left near the water's edge, but the scenery to the left of that is nice. As for 'authenticity' on the house(?) to the right of the windmill (ie the roof) I do not know, so perhaps a cropping out of that as well may have made this a better shot (for the Challenge) in my opiniion. I do like the b/w(?) effect though and think it adds to the bygone era 'feel', however, given the seemingly 'simple' colors that would have been here in color, I wonder how that too would have looked. Nice shot.

Wonderful image. SO much for the eye to absorb, yet it's not too busy. I like the soft rounded clouds against the angular lines of the windmill. Well done. 9
