Brilliant, I cant CC it or find anything wrong. It looks like a photo from the 1940's or from an old photo album, very nice.

A little soft around the lower left but other than that a very nice photograph indeed. Have you tried adding a sepia colour cast?

Thanks Bushanwater.

The softness on the left is deliberate. The trees aren't part of the main subject so by blurring them and creatively sharpening the mill, the eye is kept fixed longer on the mill and moon and less on other distracting elements. But that you directly picked up on the softness means I might have pushed it a little far.

In relation to sepia, I'm not really a fan and prefer to develop my B&W images from a solid foundation in black.

Peter
