Lovely composition and I really like the processing. Gives it a painting like quality. Where is this? Looks like it could be in the Orange Free State, South Africa? 8

Nice old time scene of the countryside.

Hey. This is a nice setting. The sky if interesting. Guess it is rusted.

Derelict indeed, this is a cool shot of things looking uncared for, even the trees look a bit scraggly.
Post actions
back for comments: I feel there's too much happening in the picture and the windmill isn't the most focussed subject ( as the title emphasizes on )
Post actions
Good shot of the windmill, but the other elements in the foreground make the shot quite busy.

sorry but I think that the post processing killed it here ... just three ;(

Good coloring. I like the how long and spread out the branches are.
Post actions
good concept but I think the windmill is competing too much with the tree. Another angle may have strengthened the shot.
Post actions
Very nice, in this case the over-processed look works
Post actions
It is interesting how the mundane can become art like
Post actions
Intersting shot! the editing is pretty nice. I recommend you redo the crop to get more impact. Crop more of the bottom away making it a more landscape crop. Do you have more of the right portion, if yes include a little more. 6

interesting image. imo the clouds are a bit overprocessed
Post actions
Almost looks like an old painting - a bit over processed for a photo. Looks like it has been a while since that windmill has been in service.

Wonderful composition with a great post processing.
Post actions
very nice treatment, just not exceptional
Post actions
Love the picture. It reminds of South Africa?
Post actions
I love that old tree, lots of character in it. Nice clouds too. Seems a bit contrasty though.
Post actions
post processing added an element of harshness to this image, very appropriate
Post actions
Nice windmill against the mountain view.
Post actions
seems a tad over-HDRed, but im not one to talk. if the willow tree wasnt there i might like this more, it just seems to make the scene feel disorganized and messy
Post actions
not so nice of a frame. a bit grainy.
Post actions
The foreground is a little busy.
Post actions
Love the HDR effect, here
Post actions
beautiful! looks like out of an old movie. 10.

A bit over-processed to my liking...
Post actions
Well done. Derelict indeed. It's a bit busy with all that's going on, but well shot.
Post actions
Rustic feel come over well.
Post actions
I think this windmill has seen better days
Post actions
I like how the branches seem to be coming out of the windmill like some strange hairdo. To me the image is a little overprocessed, but I like the unique composition.
Post actions
Definitely emits a somber mood. Good PP for this. Very well done. 8
Post actions
Neat subject, but its rather grainy (particularly the sky).
Post actions
I actually like the effect of the processing. It looks almost like a surrealist painting.
Post actions
Love the colors and detail.
Post actions
I like the angry looking storm clouds
Post actions
I love windmills! Great picture, I would have just cropped a little more on the left to get rid of the bright specks!
Post actions
like this one...colors and subject
Post actions
nice post processing, makes a great feel to the scene.
Post actions
Little to saturated or processed for me. Good idea.

They abandoned it because of the tree growing from the blades...

Wonderfull image. great scenery with interesting focal points
Post actions
This whole image feels rather flat. I like the branches behind the windmill look like flames of a fire. But the bottom half of this image is rather busy and doesn't really lead anywhere.
Post actions
Nice processing. I like it... I wonder if everyone will... Risky. :)
Post actions
Great rural capture. Well done.
Post actions
I grew up with scenes like this in my extended 'back yard." It's fun to see the branches appearing to grow out of the windmill. Thanks for the memories.
Post actions
LOL. The branches look like they're coming out of the windmill.
Post actions
Post actions
a little over processed , and too central composition
Post actions
I like it! Very interesting. Has a real nice feel to it.
Post actions
Left behind. I wish the windmill were a little more separated, but it's still a nice shot.

looks like a creepy movie scene

bit more contrast might have helped to score a bit higher
