Photographer's Note
Le Moulin d'Alphonse Daudet - Alphonse Daudet's Mill
In this mill Alphonse Daudet wrote his famous "Lettres de Mon Moulin". (I found one short story in English: Click here if you want to know more about Daudet's style.)
---------------------------------
"Et maintenant, comment voulez-vous que je le regrette, votre Paris bruyant et noir? Je suis si bien dans mon moulin! C'est si bien le coin que je cherchais, un petit coin parfumé et chaud, à mille lieues des journaux, des fiacres, du brouillard!..."
"And now, how could I regret your Paris, black and noisy? I enjoy the life in my mill! It is so much the place I was looking for, full of scents and warm, a thousand miles of the newspapers, the coaches, the smog!..." (From Lettres de mon moulin)

I really like the angles of the lines in the picture. You framed it very well. The colors are great too. At first I wanted to see more saturation in the red of the roof, but it is not necessary and this is a great pic.

Je trouve cet angle de vue très peu conventionnel, mais ça fonctionne bien ici : une approche originale de ce moulin que l'on voit toujours sous "le même angle". L'image est de très bonne qualité, l'exposition très juste. Les zones sombres restent bien détaillées. Très bonne répartition de la lumière. Très bien vu Viviane.

I really like this composition. I'd be interested to see the same shot taken at opposite time of day to see how it looks front-lit with attention drawn to the windmill blades.
