[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Windmill 'De Valk' (in English; 'The Falcon') in my hometown Montfoort is a real eye catcher when you enter the town from the west side. It was built in 1753 for milling of grain, but not in use anymore and in decline (even used as stable for pigs) since halfway the 19th century. In the 1980's a renovation took place, which left the outside more or less unchanged (apart from some extra windows), but changed the interior dramatically, for use as a dwelling house. A few years ago people decided to put back the milling installation and started a restoration that is still ongoing.

PP: adjusted levels and saturation slightly, resized and sharpened for TE, frame added. All with GIMP.

Hello Lia,
Beautiful place ! The composition is perfect with those flowers at foreground giving a good depth of field, and the reflection of the mill.
My only critique is that I think there is a bit too much of red/magenta so I send you a workshop to correct it, I hope you will like,
Thanks for sharing,
Marion
