Windmill, a photo from Burgas, East

Photographer's Note

The windmill, built in the middle of XVIII century, is the symbol of the Old town of Nessebar. The town is located on a small peninsula in the Black Sea wich is linked with the land only by a long and narrow isthmus. It has existed for more than 3,000 years. It emerged as a fortified Thracian settlement (the Tracians gave the town its original name Messimbria), afterwards it was a Greek polis, then a Roman colony. In the 1956 the town was announced an architectural and archeological reserve of UNESCO. Now has 2 parts - the Old Town and the New Town.

Hi Silvia,
Nice name :) and photo too.
Nice contrast between black and yellow.

Hello Silvia
Nice capture, the lightning is wonderful.
You can try to crop it to square size to make more impessive.

Zdravo Silvia,
I didn't know that there are windmills in Bulgaria:) Great shot, the contrast is great, Dutch people would be jealous if they see this photo:)
Best,
Gordana.

A very striking shot! I think that your exposure is very good and it is very sharp. The only thing that i would have liked to see in the shot is a little more foreground to put the windmill into better context with its surroundings.

All the best Rob (-:
