i think the picture was taken really well and i like the contrast in colors. the problem with taking a picture like this is it really needs to stand out in a challenge like this one. book pictures and apple pictures really need to be awesome to get high scores. i also like having more debth in pictures (use of foreground and background) 5

Simple with good exposure and focus, plus OK composition.

Originally posted by Strontious: a center composition? WHY??? placed off to the left, following the rule of thirds would have made this a MUCH better photograph

Why the centre composition?..... I tried it as an off center ROT crop, but somehow it just didn't work as a 640x640 crop. I wonder if it's because the focal point on the windmill is the centre of the 4 sails?

Any comments/ideas?

Several people commented that a full on front view would have worked better for the "square crop", but unfortunately the front view would have had a housing estate as the background.

The haloing around the windmill really detracts from an otherwise wonderful shot.
