This is a nice shot but I feel the lines could have been composed a little better. Nice colors.

Nice windmill. everyone has such cool stuff to photograph. Ok, I do too. I just see it all the time. I would not crowd the right side with the windmill blade, move it in a little. There is a nice red color in the scene so I would try to show more of the red grass or shrubbery in the foreground. As it is you are just tempting us with it. Technically it looks very sharp and clean. Nice job. 8

Beautiful color contrast with the pink sky, white/blue snow and brick windmill. Beautiful!

Try cropping bottom to elimanate plants at lower right. Nice that fence leads the eye to the windmill.

I really like your use of sunlight here. It is hitting the windmill just right. Bravo!

This is an exquisite image! The tones on the windmill are deadon and the lines are excellent as well. Best of all in this low light invitation, the image is well focused. Good luck!

Comment by Azrifel:
About the right and left side: This is the cleanest crop possible. More to the right is a sign for tourists and a modern kind of fish boot and parkinglots in front of the houses. More to the left is a pump for ships and there were some high cars spoiling the classic buildings.

The best time for shooting this is on a cold clear Sunday morning, from the ice in the harbour when it is there and stand back more. Because you are deeper in comparison to the walls, the angle of view takes out the cars and most modern stuff and shows the tower in its 'natural' surroundings with old houses in the background. Doesn't happen often.

So now it was centered. That's why I stood back and let the wooden landing stage lead the eye into the pic.
