Well taken, sharp image the colour palette is gorgeous and warm in a "fall" fashion but best of all is the communication shown between these two, it speaks volumes. The light is soft and diffused with no harsh shadows showing. A photo that warms our hearts.

I like the DOF and mood.

It was just a comment as I saw it,but your probarly right,we all have different points of view on things,thats what makes photography interesting and it is open to different interpretation.

Nice view,although pushing the water theme maybe a tad far though

Great to see you back

Welcome back. Enter more.

A sweet cooling photo, good connection between subject and photographer.

Where is the vendor? This is a nice, colourful image. Can a popcorn sign be called a vender/vendor as I thought it had to be a person who sells goods. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thank you.

An eye catcher using great dof that brings a smile to my face. Like the humour of this post.

You did a nice job on this. Thank you. I especially like the "look" she is giving you! Colourful and youthful photo.

Congrats on 1st, great photo

Congrats, a well deserved 1st.

Congrats on 1st, well done!

Congrats. That's a fun shot

Congrats Kellie

Great

Cropping the photo may have been easier and better.

Beautiful

I see the Hummingbird, but part of the camo may be the low exposure

Ok, seriously, it's a humming bird collecting nectar?

The leaves are camouflaging each other?

HA!

It's must be well done, because I don't see what is camoufled here ... ^_^

has chopping potential

Very well done! Congrats

really nice shot, congrats.

Congrats on 3rd place

Congrats on first, well deserved!

Congratulations on 1st place, a really outstanding photo.

Nicely done, and a good choice og subject.

I completely agree with Kyricom, even though it is spring over here and really had enough of winter I think this shot is a classic!

Love it

Why do we need to post the final result in the SBS, that is always done automatically.

Nice shot. The weather and the road conditions help. I like the choice of B&W on this one too.

You'll need to post 4 photos in the SBS in this order: 1. Original photo 2. Lightened to produce "overexposed" image 3. Overexposed image blurred out of focus. 4. The final result of how your image looks after you put them together

Gorgeous!

Gorgeous!

Really love how you used negative spaces as the 'grid'. Clever and well done!

Stunning work! Simple, but very effective!

Nice. looks like the water level is low

Moody blues. Very nice.

Great!

Wonderful

Nice clean shot indeed. And I see some Dutch middle aged woman in a very typicall Bunschoten costume....kinda . Good luck!

Ok, so let's watch the link ... On the picture you're talking about in you wikipedia link, isn't the tree placed on a line ? Can't we compare your wind mill to the tree ? And in the picture under ... aren't they showing "A picture cropped without and with the rule of thirds" ?

Well ... Ok author, I don't insist ... It's your picture, do what you want with it. It was just an advice, just wanted to help. Never mind. Good luck !

Excuse me author but, or I am blind, or I'm very bad in geometry, but if you cut your picture with 3 verticaly and equaliy positionned lines, your main subject (at least the thing that catch the eye) is absolutely not on a third line ! And excuse me again author but the rule of thirds is justly to put the strongs elements of your picture on those lines. So, in a normal contest, no matter where your mill is placed but here, in a "rule of third" contest, I think it might have been better to use it to compose your photo.

Looks like a big fat guy sitting on his sofa ! ^_^ Nice shot !

You've used well the rule of third horizontaly, but why didn't you places the wind turbine on a third line ?

Excellent choice to leave the 'ghosting' Adds life & movement to an otherwise rigid item. Beautiful light & color too.

I like the effect of the fence. GL
