The colors are great, and the line of sunlight grasses with the windmill as dramatic endpoint makes a very nice composition. The grasses in the foreground are perhaps distracting, especially the ones on the right. The ones on the left by themselves balance the composition. Posted: 12/11/2025 16:17:51
Nicely composed but seems to me lacks clarity or sharpness (foreground-background). The light appears bright and even, seems to me lacks tonal depth, or mood shaping. Good Image. Posted: 12/14/2025 17:44:00
This is a nice peaceful image and you picked the correct time of day to photograph it. It shows a scene that one might want to put on their wall. The only issue is the strands of grass in the foreground. I think I would crop as much of them as I could. Posted: 12/20/2025 14:03:31
I really like the lighting here and unlike others, I'm not bothered by the random grasses in the foreground. I think it tells me you are standing on the edge rather than in a boat or something. Nicely done! And have a very holiday season and Happy New Year. Posted: 12/21/2025 19:08:12
Love the color and composition, with the windmill positioned in one-third of the image, a beautiful blue sky, clouds, and a reflection on the water.
For me the grass in the front of the image is distracting. Posted: 12/22/2025 18:40:41
