A mill, i don't exactly know it's name, maybe someone does, in a misty area, this mill is for pumping water.

Shot on a Ilford b/w film.

I sent this photograph to a Mill database they placed my photo on the page of this mill.

Nice raw punchy B&W image Fernand, I like the obvious grain allied to the lack of specific detail that gives this shot an abstract quality

I can't quite make out exactly what I'm lookin at (other than the trees) but wow is the pic pretty! Love the PP work, great shapes and angles. Well done!

This picture made me to spend time to understand what's going on.I liked the tones you used.Different picture and attracting composition you've got here.You did it well.

Hi Fernand,

Nice imagery. I like the effects you post here, and the tones and geometry are the interesting features on display. The addition of noise works well to enhance the sail's shaping.

Well done & happy weekend to you,

Regards,

Vic, Singapore.

Good effect with the grain and sepia - very moody. It certainly is a refreshing break from the clear shart shots of these sort of things we see more and more of now in the digital age. I took a look at the Mill database site and your image really stands out. Well done. Excellent composition. The only thing that might improve it would be a slight trace of detail in the sky perhaps

Hello Fernand,

I think this is my favourite shot of yours. Very powerful. A love the grain on it and the composition is exellent. It would have been nice to get the complete tip of the "mil".

Regards,

Don
