Hi Karsten,
The golden field and the grey sky bring out the brilliance of the windmills.
Very nice photo!

Hi Karsten,

This is very crisp and well composed. The lines of the blue sky and the golden field both lead the viewer nicely to the foremost windmill. I don't think the gray border does anything and this image can stand on it's own.

Cheers!

Hi Karsten,
I really like your contributions to TE! This one is lovely. I like the crispness and sharpness of it as well as the perspective you've managed to convey. I only wish the image were a little bigger so I could enjoy it even more!
Thanks,
Sarah

Very well done this composition. you use the lines of the landschape very wel creating a diagonal on it. The colors are wel defined and in good contrast. Dof is also perfect with sharpness al over. Congratulations for the good work

I like the diagonal cropping of this image...emphasizing the contrast between sky and burned grass.
windmills are on a row...thus giving a pleasant depth

well done
Silvio

PS: do you have Polish origins? I have a Polish friend having the same family name like you

Hello Karsten,
Lovely composition with a strong diagonal to enhance the beauty of these windills.
The light was perfect.
A small regret here: your photo is quite small. You can go until 800 pixels. You should take advantage of this possibility to show a maximum details.
Regards,
Marianne

Hello Karsten,

A classic view, no surprises there, but a great rendition with excellent colours and a great pov. I like the composition that cuts a bit off the bottom of the first three mills. My favourite in your gallery so far, but I'm looking forward to more.

Hello,
Beautiful full of warmth image. I like contrast between yellow grass and these dark and heavy clouds. Very impressive picture. You have captured a wonderful landscape here. Perfect depth of field and well considered composition. Congratulations.

Greetings

Hi again Karsten,
I like this composition for its pureness and clarity. Well spotted, good contrast between the sky and the ground. I wonder what parameters did you use here as for the camera, the foreground could be more sharp and detailed if smaller aperture used, that would of course needed a tripod...
Kind regards,
Michal

Hallo Karsten...
Diese Komposition gefällt mir unwarscheinlich gut.
Tolle Arbeit...
Gruß Joanna
