Windmill in Tholen, a photo from Zeeland, South

Photographer's Note

Tholen is the name of both an island and a picturesque little town on that island.
The many wildeflower dikes and the narrow polder paths that lead you past charming field of flowers make this area a very attractive destination for cyclists, skaters & walkers...

I like the framing of this picture. It would of been nice if the branches were a bit higher though.

Nice pic... Indeed, this is Holland!

A nice picture, but I'll agree with kentokyo, the branches interfere with the main subject.

If you had moved a bit closer you could have used the scallop in the branch pattern to nicely frame the windmill.

This is somewhere where a wider angle lens would have been nice. It would have allowed you to capture the branches, windmill and more of the stream. Maybe our future digitals will give us some shorter focal length lenses.

You might try a bit more sharpening to see if you can tease a bit more detail from the grass.

Very nice picture, I agree that the branches obstruct a little the windmill, but it doesnt' bother me at all and they made a very nice frame for the picture subject.

J'aprécie les branches dans le premier plan qui donne de la profondeur à l'image et remplissent ce ciel un peu vide, mais je pense que tu aurais du laisser un peu plus d'espace entre les pales du moulin et le bas des branches

Très très belle photographie avec un peu d'eau devant. T'as raison...Lautrec est effectivement dans le Midi-Pyrennes; j'habite ici depuis 4 mois et je ne connais pas encore mon département! Je suis comme ça!
Merci
