Thanks for all the wonderfull comments. This is my first entry for the dpchallenge and I was shocked to see it come in second with all the great competition. I did very little to this photo, except to crop it a bit, and lighten/sharpen it a bit. I really don't don't like an overmanipulated digi photograph, but that's kind of just me, as I am primarily interested in outdoor/nature photography so like things as I see them as much as possible.
I took it at dusk as I got to the site late, as I am a real procrastinator; although the grayed light worked out well for me. I had some other shots without the leaves, that had more of the water wheel reflection, guess I should have used one of those. Oh well, I am learning.
I took it two days after I got my new Oly c-2100 UZ, and am still learning it. Again, THANKS, THANKS, THANKS, all comments were well taken.
Great shot, I really like the composition. Lighing is a tad weak, but still nice. Love the mood it creates...hope you took more shots from diff angles...9 zadore
One of my few 10's this week, this is a beautiful shot. Very high impact emotionally for me, and there is not a single thing I would change about this shot. lhall
What an absolutely beautiful photograph! If it snows where this was taken you have to go back and photograph it again. I love the lone white duck in the picture too.
A masterpiece. Is this done in the natural colors. I hope this is the color it was. Focus is great, sharpness couldn't be better, subject and composition os great. Technically right on. It has "wow" without being wild in color and subject. Just the natural beauty of nature and days gone by technology. This is great. PTL
I really like this! Color, focus, crop, very interesting subject, and ever a WOW factor! Great shot!!! And Oh, it even fits the challenge... 10 -Clicker-
Nice shot/interpretation of the subject. I find the leaves in front of the mill a bit distracting. Same with the white fluffy stuff in the bottom. I like the (swan?). Jacko. 7
Nice shot. I bet this would look good if you desaturated in Photoshop, then colored in specific items in the picture. (not that you could do that for a challenge, but it might be fun just to see how it looks if you like playing with photoshop)
It looks like you were shooting toward the sun here, so the quality of light is all the more remarkable to me. It's a very good composition with lots of good detail but it's the atmosphere that grabs me. So far, it's in my top five. Tremendous.
