Critique Club critique:
Overall, you have created a very striking and engaging shot within the guidelines of the challenge. In my opinion, a pure B/W with a fairly high contrast was an excellent choice due to the lighting and textures within the shot. The dramatic lighting really accentuates not only the blades of the windmill, but also adds a great deal of visual interest around the deck railing and accentuates the texture of the stone construction of the main structure. The shot is well-exposed, with a solid range of tones from white to black.
Given the perspective and constraints of the challenge (off-center subject), I think your composition works quite well. While the center of the blades is also the center of the shot, the visual weight of the subject is well away from center, thereby meeting the requirements of the challenge, in my opinion. The strong negative space of the upper left portion of the frame nicely balances the subject.
I'm sorry I missed this one during my limited voting for the challenge... it would have received a score of 10 from me. Very nicely done!
I hope I have been of some help with this critique. If you have any questions or would like further clarification on anything I have commented on above, please PM me and I will gladly help further. |

| Just enough detail in the shadows and great light accents really make this a compelling image. |

| sorry, but my focus is on the blades and more specific where they meet. That point is close to center. I however love the shot you took. 5 (center) |

| Nice shot. Its a different perspective on the windmill, but I'm not sure its the most effective. Greyscaling was good. The blades look funky though. Not sure if it some compression problems or oversharpening, but they don't look right. I like the shot overall tho |

| the perspective is a little disorienting at first. the blades of the windmill dominate the frame a bit too much for my taste. nice feel to the shot though...would also have worked for low-key challenge. :) |

| beautiful shot and excellent choice for black and white. I wish we had windmills like this in the US. Maybe there are some but I just don't know where they are :) I particularly like the perspective you chose on this one. I think this is my favorite shot in this challenge... = 10 |

| Nice angle and perspective. I would love to see this rotated a touch, with the blades going into the corners. I like your use of B&W here. |

| A nightmarish windmill - I can see how Quixote might've been intimidated. Interesting shot. |
