Thanks for the nice comments. I did go at sunset to try and get some interesting sky colours behind the windmill but it wasn't to be and in the end looked better in B&W (at least to me).

Very nice. I may have liked seeing the windmill body in the shot, but that's a nitpick.

The camera angle is very interseting, and the subject fills up just the right amount of space in the shot.

Well composed, and kinda creative use of tilt, but some color on the back of the windmill would have given this some oomph. An otherwise fine capture.
