Composition is great. The centered wheel aligned with the corner of the building works very well.

You might want to consider a little less information in your titles...

Technically speaking, the image is somewhat over exposed-- the sky and the tin roof are both blown out to white. Use less exposure or focus/meter on a lighter subject to force the camera to automatically expose less.

I would have liked to see this taken with a wide enough angle in height to include the bottom of the turbine. The tight cropping to the sides of the mill works well for me as does the setting lighting and focus. The galvanized roof contrasts well with the turbine, and the faded paint contrasts well with the spring foliage. Very nice job.

A 9.

I don't think centering the turbine in the building makes for the best composition. Neither is shown to its best advantage.

Thank goodness you told me that the mill was in the background... I had NO idea what that was! (?)

Doesn't seem to be as clear as it should be. I think the composition would be stronger with the rusted axle not directly in the middle of the corner of the house

i would have liked to see the backround more out of focus, its a little too distracting and takes away from the subject

I like the photo, but I think it would look better if the house wasn't so centered in the background. 7

rusty object a bit dark - perhaps fill flash or a reflector to get some light on it to show some detail.
