Oct 18: 'Contrast'

A stark contrast to the normal rubbish I turn out. These are the sails of Pitstone windmill, taken during my lunch-time walk.
I love the contrast between the sails and the sky.

@fannyb - I read that as "gorgeous contrast and not a bit shight". Thank you Fanny.

and thank you all for you kind words; Hazel, Nada, Lynn and Dawna. I was quite please to find out I can still take 'proper photographs. @quietpurplehaze @nadaa @lynnb @dawnie

[Ann Jones]

Lovely shot!

[Sean O'Neill]

I just don't get this one at all. It looks like the silhouette of a windmill and its sails, but you don't fool me. i know it isn't, I just don't know what it is. If it were said windmill blah, blah, it would be a very nice silhouette.

Thanks Ann & Sean (I think)

Great shot for contrast Bulldog. I love windmills, they are always so impressive somehow. And beautiful.

@gphelps5 :-D

[Mick]

The contrast is perfect Graham, silhouette and fab blue sky plus fluffy clouds and sharp angles. Way too square for you though :)

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Nice one!

[Kathryn Marshall]

Great composition and contrast.

[ladyjane]

[Vicki Dixon]

[Ann Stenson]

This is just beautiful Mr B, I love windmills!......But why do i find myself checking to see if the bots or any of your little bits....are attatched to the sails!!! : )

[Nat]

Where are the bits???? It's a great shot Bulldog...but no bits :-(

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

@annbo - Because you have a warped mind Ann.

@natr - See above

[Peter de Graaff]

Great co position

[Nat]

@gphelps5 ok. I see how it is. Great pov. Awesome colours. And no bits - so no fav!

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

Ha ha ha - "No Bits / No Fav"
That's a bit harsh!
@natr

[Nat]

@gphelps5 oh well. Us Aussies can be like that :-)

[Mike]

Get you being all 'Arty'..and I thought you just did soft toys, soldiers and cardboard characters!

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

Ha ha ha.. with the occasional dog thrown in...
@caddick

[Lyn]

Wonderful - love the silhouetted windmill arms against that beautiful sky. I for one am comfortable with the more restrained Mr. Bulldog. . .as long as it only happens very infrequently!

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

Ha ha, thanks Lyn.
@lyno

[Cally]

It was worked so well. I like the contrast against the sky. I do like windmills though :)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It feels strange to write the comment "very pretty" on one of your shots! Way to break out of the mode for the daily word!

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

Thanks Cally and thank you Ann, I will take that as a complement.
@cally @olivetreeann

[Jane]
