Water pump? I thought that was an emergency Roulette wheel used when the Valley was flooded. ;-)
Good shot - one just like it I saw earlier. I liked the other one a bit better, but this is up there. :) |

| That is perhaps the queerest looking windmill I've ever seen (so many blades!). I think the inclusion of the house in the background is lovely and suits the windmill nicely. I wonder if you'd have use a wider angle and gotten slightly closer to the windmill would that have been better. Perhaps with a wider aperature as well to blur out the house, which would still be discernible. I think the trees on the left could have been cropped out to better effect. It's definitely low tech, and you get a bonus for meeting the challenge. |

The water pump is very interesting, especially because of the beautiful rotor, but the house draws to much attention away imho. Perhaps that another angle or just using the rotor itself as a subject might create a stronger impact. The way the light from the back illuminates the rotor blades from the back is interesting. Despite that the composition is good.
Exposure and contrast balance is very good, colors look natural. |

Oh, so that are waterpumps?
I see them all the time in American films (movies whatever word you like) normaly they are broken and make a sqeeky sound :-) But now I know what they are..
I learn every day... If you know how they work you can tell mee because I dont see anything go into the ground...
On the photo, it's 100% low-tech and the nice house and the sky add to the photo.. (8) |

| Good subject. As is, the house competes with the pump for focal point attention. Composition could have been improved by using a shorter depth of field - having the pump in sharper focus than the house in the background. Alternately, a tighter crop on the pump would have also worked. Overall, a decent shot. |

| Good composition, nice lighting and sharpness. Might be interesting to shoot a closup of just the windmill wheel itself as a geometric abstract. |

| Nice compostion and colors. Water pump though? Wouldn't that imply that there is something in the ground? Looks like a weather vane to me. NIce job anyway. |
