 Taken at Kinderdijk in Holland the day after the Amsterdam GTG. Nessnaj and I went to the windmills and took a whole series of photos. This one was was where the mill itself was "painted" with the light from Luc's flash light to bring it into the picture more.

In homage to the windmill expert - Philos - who was so right about the place.

Nice colors in the sky, but the photo appears to be a bit soft for my tastes. The reflections on the water look really nice.

Gorgeous scene...the sky's color seems to be a bit surreal. I like the composition and the slight motion blur of the foreground greenery. :)

The blur of the grass in the foreground is kind of distracting, Overall it is a nice shot.

Nice colors and composition. At first the blurry weeds in the foreground did not appeal to me, but I think that they add to the overall feeling of relaxation of the shot.
