Nice location and composition. A little heavy on the contrast and saturation.

what an awesome old mill ... good job keeping the shadow details ... my only issue is that the fence is slightly over exposed ... nice composition and good sharp focus ...

I tend to agree with the comments that the fence is a little blown out here.

Could you try taking the shot in the morning or evening? with a little less sun?

It should give it a really nice "lazy cottage" feel.

Cheers

great shot - sky colors (especially by the trees) are overdone for me

The lighting distracts the fence.

A lovely scene, seems a bit soft and the fence is overexposed in areas.

Nice subject. I just can'r hrlp wondering what the effect would be on the whole photograph if a bit of dodging was applied to the water and fall area. Other than that. Good.
