Yes! Both these new photographs of the mill are terrific, but this one is my favourite. I think this is a perfect composition and crop! And that, when combined with the lovely lighting and shadows, has produced a dramatic result. I also like the gradient in the sky, and of course the beautiful, functional architecture.
I tried my patented "tilt test" on it. That's where I tilt my monitor until all the shadow detail is swallowed into black, and then I back off and look at it from about six feet away. The image is thereby reduced or distilled into a high-contrast caricature of itself, and if it still looks good, then it's a worthy and durable work from a graphic point of view (I read once of some art critic who did the same thing with paintings by squinting through slitted eyes; sounded absurd, but it seems to work).
This image suggests southern Europe to me ... somewhere on the Iberian Peninsula, I'd have guessed, if I didn't know better. Very nice work! |
