8 Mills View, a photo from Kyklades, South Aegean

Photographer's Note

These old mills can be seen from the coast, a lure to get away from the touristic beach and into a more authentic Santorini town.

I like it. Beautiful texture on the mill detail in the foreground. The low sun provides a very pleasent light, which really brings out the warmth in the wood.

It's a composition of two halves, and I like your split between the two through use of shallow DOF. One thing I would like is to see that the things in the background really are mills (I want to see the blades, not sure if there are any though). Maybe a slightly less shallow DOF to at least show this on the first mill in the background?

Nice pic!

Dan,

I really like the texture in the wood, and how it "points" towards the windmills. The weathered look of the wood helps emphasize the "ancient" character of the area. I like the colors, also.

Like PiotrS, I would have liked the background in a bit more focus, but a neat image!
