Not a full sized windmill, but one of these metal ones you may see in someone's yard. I saw this one for sale at Old Town in San Diego. Shot it with the sun behind it.

As much as I hate Photoshop borders that one works well. Beautiful pic :thumb:

zippy question for you, was there this much noise originally or is it because of resizing?

The camera exposed for the sky which came out very blue so the shadows (the whole windmill) were underexposed and in silloette. I considered leaving it that way but liked it better when I pulled out some more detail. I think the grain in this case helps add to the image and the red color is more intesting than a black shape against a blue sky. I also do not use borders very often, but this one seemed to want one. I used the dropper tool to select a color from the image for it. I keep learning new tricks.
