•  Question I can see a distinct lighter halo around the rightmost mill. Is it a side effect of an HDRization or of another kind of post-processing? --MAURILBERT (discuter) 20:38, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

I don't see it. Could give me more explanations? Berichard (talk) 20:57, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

I see it; at first I thought it might just be an optical illusion, but (if using an LCD monitor) it becomes very obvious when viewing from an angle below horizontal - MPF (talk) 21:22, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

I see it also. But if you look for a longer while in full resolution (even from an angle below horizontal on a LCD screen), it is not visible anymore. It is definitely an optical illusion! -- MJJR (talk) 21:31, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

• I would rather guess it is the result of photoshop´s shadow / highlights tool Nikopol (talk) 22:14, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

As soon as the halo starts disappearing, it pops right up again. The photo's a mind game ;O ~Kevin Payravi (Talk) 22:32, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

• The haloing might in other cases be the effect of lateral inhibition, as it is the case with a grid illusion. However, this haloing is real, even in 100%. If you want proof, go to photoshop and play a little with the contrast, the halos are clearly visible. Nikopol (talk) 23:08, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

The halo has to be the result of Photoshop's shadow/highlight tool, because it doesn't dissapear when I remove the wing "grid" in Photoshop. / Achird (talk) 01:31, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks to all for these explanations. --MAURILBERT (discuter) 13:19, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

•  Neutral Not so keen on the contrast "enhancements" leading to halos around the wings of the rightmost mill (see question above). --MAURILBERT (discuter) 13:19, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose Decent example of the rule of threes, but the composition is a little off; too tight on the right and the perspective is a little funky I think. Good, but not the best of the best. Steven Walling 08:45, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose The crop on the right side is too tight. --JovianEye (talk) 22:38, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose The crop on the right side is much too tight. Lycaon (talk) 07:13, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose - crop a bit tight for FP. Jonathunder (talk) 17:07, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose Too tight crop on the right side of the picture --Dein Freund der Baum (talk) 12:58, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose I'm not a fan of glowing windmills. Crop is a minus as well. --Dschwen (talk) 15:44, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
