The Old Mill Photo

Photographer’s Note

A derelict mill in the small hamlet of Sauge not far from where I live. Standing on the banks of the River Seugne, it looks ripe for restoration.

A stitch of two photographs.

Hello Stephen,
a fine composition of this old mill, it's very nice and brings a good mood and a deep bond with the past.

Hello Stephen

A nice presentation of this old mill. Your stitch is very well done. The fine sharpness enhances the stones, and you've well managed the light to have natural and soft colors.
The unclear reflection is well seen.
Very charming place, thanks for sharing it.

Regards,
Karine

Hi, Steph,
I see we are neighbours today.
A nice stitch. It's a derelict mill but who knows how many life-stories it knows:)
I like the composition and the colours.
I bet dates make their meetings nearby:)

Hi Stephen,
An interesting old building, it looks well worth being painted, could be a motive for any kind of artist! Is this a vertical or horizontal stitch?
Greetings from Oslo where I am right now

Stephen,
This is a great shot of this old mill in ruins. Your composition is great using the reflection to add balance and depth to the shot. The lighting and colors are great with nice sharpness and detail. The trees frame to the shot nicely attracting the eye to the central subject.
TFS,
Asa

Hello Stephen,
excellent result, the whole capture has an amazing clarity and is close to a 3D impression. The old mill is really outstanding as I am myself looking at this over the creek. Superb sharpness in that pleasant composition.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

jean11-3 (2799) 2008-04-21 9:57

Hello Stephen,an excellent POV of the old mill.I like the inclusion of the plants and the river bank in the fg.
It looks a very quiet and calm setting to make a home;I wonder whether someone will come along to convert it?
The colours make this shot stand out.The soft reflection is a bonus.I would never have realised that this shot was stitched.
Tfs, regards Jean.

cobbydale (1924) 2008-04-21 11:30

An excellent shot Stephen. Great sharpness especially evident on the front part of the building and the trees on top right. Good POV and good stitching job too.
