A lovely shot, great colour graduation on the sky. I guess it's a bit flat round there? Holland?
The stream/river/cana/whateverl at the front is very plain - doesn't do much for me, and I think you've cropped a little too close to the windmill, but other wise this is great.

NIce image. Voted it high. Would like to see more room top and bottom. You have created a pressure point and the image woudl benefit greatly with more breathing room...

Whoohaaaaaaaaaaa!
Great & nice comments, a good position and a nice score. Made my week. :)

I tried it on its side, both the bottle and the cork, but it didn't look good enough to my taste. Also tried a black background, didn't look good with the bottle.

I hoped it would go for third, the score was up to 6.6 at one time, but suddenly it dropped to near 6.3.... Ah well, better luck next time, I wan't a ribbon within 5 years! :)

Comment by KarenB:
very well executed photo. maybe the cork should be on it's side.. feels too placed this way. (I mean, I KNOW it is placed.. but ....) On it's side might also add eye movement/interest rather than both objects in vertical. Just a thought.
