Windmills war: how to stay neutral Photo

Photographer’s Note

People #1
Ringht when being on my two weeks holiday I found myself in the middle of the bloody windmills war: Dom Jose fighting against the Dutch team.
Being a Pole I declared my neutral position, and only asked the captain of my battleship to observe the battlefield carefully. So he obeyed the order.

Hi Jerzy

Well managed dof, with good color & composition. I like the warm cold opposition, between the yellow flag / red shirt, and the blue sky.

Good shot from the field J. Tight cropping and the right placement of the person looking out for any 'danger'. Good use of the background details of sea and land in harmony with the right dof

Hi Jerzy,
Sorry for my delay in critiques at TE Members but I'm in holidays at 18th August, and life is life.
It's nice this war! I'm in Azores and I found 4 old ones :-)))
I think that it's necessary to make a armistice!

Fine capture of the man observing the windimill front. My last picture is also from a boat.

Well seen and composed.
Best to you.
Fernando.

Hi Jerzy, I hope for the peace, not join to the "war". A well taken picture with clear portrait of the person in binocular. A colorful and detailed picture. Well done.

Hi Jerzy,
The man see Dutchman come with water, for the Portugese, in Netherlands is it cold and rain. So a deal between the two countries, Portugal furnish sun to the Netherlands.
Thanks for your nutrality, of the innocent battle.
Greetings,
John.

Windmills war or not this is a lovely picture: I like the deep saturated tones and the entire composition that just "fits". It has a smell of adventure about it. Well done! Francis, jerzy!
