Windmill at the open air museum in Bokrijk Belgium.

I like the framing, done both the tree leaves at the top as well as the road and fence at the bottom. I like the colors, the composition (windmill on the thirds line), the angles, the texture. Great shot! The only distracting thing is the shadows on the left side. Since this is advanced editing, they could have been cloned out. Good luck on the challenge!

P.S. I'm betting on a ribbon here ... or a least top 5.

Breathtaking scale and colors. Beautiful compositional lines and off-centered subject. Very, very nice.

Nicely composed using the old fence and branches to lead to, and frame, your subject.
Good work

If I didn't already want to visit Belgium, this photo would inspire me. One of my ribbon picks this challenge... not only a great travel photo. I like you're leading lines into the windmill, the punchy sky and grass and red barn. The tree framing the windmill adds the perfect accent. BOL

I like how the leaves in the upper left point to the windmill. Very pleasing image. Shadow on the dirt road could've been cloned out.

Clone out the shadow on the path and I'd give this a 10. It's really bothering me. I like how the natural framing surrounds only the windmill. The colors seem a little too oversaturated. 9

Big-time fill flash? Effectively done, too - and has allowed those colours in the underside of the leaves through nicely. Good light control and blalnce overall, perhaps let down a touch by that branch intruding so heavily in frame? An unobscured view of the house would make less of a feature of the branches and more of a frame, but these are minor points. Atouch too much on the big brght sunny day side for my taste, but a very well executed shot nevertheless.

good scenic; the foregreound branches are a little overpowering imo.
