Lightbulb Just want to share my own experiece while I learn

Hi !
While I´m taking some pictures I noticed that I´m getting more critical on my own work (something I think that is good for growing up in perspective) but many of my works comes from my own reflections how to take the picture without noticing what I´m missing in the process. So I´ll appreciate always all the comments in my post. Your are welcome to pop up and say Hi!

I like this picture because it took me over 20 shots and trying in different angles untill I get this one that I selected. It was taken in Malmoe -Sweden.

I like the colours and the angle. If I was going to comment then it would be the small building in the far distance, I find my eye drawn to it for some strange reason which distracts from the windmill.

I don't find the distant building to be a significant distraction. It is true that our eyes tend to be drawn to high contrast and that is an area of high contrast, but it is small enough you should be able to clone it out. I am more concerned about the bright cloud that leads our eye away from the windmill and toward the corner of the frame. I was able to fix this by applying a slight vignette effect. Give that a try and see if it doen's help.

Nice shot. Great use of the rule of thirds. I don't notice the building in the background so much and cloning that out would be no big deal. The sky ads a great background, but this looks to be taken in full daylight. I like it, and I would love to see it in a sunrise/sunset situation. good composition!
