    The Old Mill

    Sorry for the lack of posting lately..I'm back for the time being and I look forward to catching up.
    I drive by this place frequently. On this day it caught my eye and I shot some pictures. I'm not sure if it works or not. What do you think? Thanks as always..

    I like the b&w's myself, but the reflections of the clouds on the ground in #3 is pretty cool. I think #2 works best. The shed on the right side of #1 offsets the dilapidated look of the garage on the left, and doesn't quite fit in my opinion.
    mostly Nikon gear

    Feel free to edit my images for critique, just let me know what you did.

    Thanks for the reply. Yeah that shed really blows it. That was one of the reasons for going B&W.. The color version is bright green..I cropped the picture right before the shed, but then lost the dynamics of the clouds. The more I look at it the more of an eyesore it is.

    ooh likey!

    I like the b&w one too but the colour one is nice. Maybe a combo of the two...b&w with blue sky.

    Love the reflections, clouds, and old building. Hate the modern metal shed. Good overall though!

    Thanks for the replys!! Looks like I'm going to have to bulldoze that new shed

    Re: The Old Mill

    I'm intrigued by that little thingy in the middle of the yard, what is it ? and is it interesting enough to incorporate it in another shoot here ?

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...
