It shows how small and scared he is. Where is his owner? Great pic, perfectly exposed.

Very interesting and lovely, like a painted photo or an old postcard. I would love to hear how you processed it, if you're into spilling :)

Wonderful photo, when I first saw it I first thought Germany and I saw I was correct. I saw so many of those windmills over there.

I like the rolling hills in this one. Kind of a miniaturized world with the curve. It is a pretty cool perspective. I like the square crop here because it does enhance that "round" feeling to the photograph. The three tones are working well together here, the blue, the green and the red. A very nice color combination. Sharpness is good. Clouds are marvelous. Good control of exposure. Terrific lines with both the shadows, hill lines, and roof lines.

The only negative is the brush in the front. I like those whites peeking out, just wish I could see more of them. I realize not much you can do with them. Though I do prefer to leave them in rather than cropping them out, a good choice.

A great photo, colors are wonderful. Stunning.
