a center composition? WHY??? placed off to the left, following the rule of thirds would have made this a MUCH better photograph
Why the centre composition?..... I tried it as an off center ROT crop, but somehow it just didn't work as a 640x640 crop. I wonder if it's because the focal point on the windmill is the centre of the 4 sails?
Any comments/ideas?
Several people commented that a full on front view would have worked better for the "square crop", but unfortunately the front view would have had a housing estate as the background.
The sharpening artefacts around the sails are a shame - really quite eye-catching. Might I recommend that you not shoot against the bright part of the sky in this instance? That's left you with an enormous brightness gap to bridge between keeping detail in the windmill and the sky - the opposing angle, shooting from the right of this frame, would have allowed you to keep the entire shot within the dynamic range of your camera more easily. Obviously, there may be other factors preventing such a shot - but that very bright area of sky has certainly caused problems.
