Carol, in the first place thanks for the done effort. Although I'm 8 years younger than you, think I'm not that able anymore to go on my knees in such an environment in order to make a picture. The result is excellent. It's as if I'm looking at a devastated landscape where the windmill has emerged from the 'battle' undamaged and has become a symbol of hope and perseverance. From this point of view, your photograph also deserves the label 'very artistic'.
If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins!

Oh, always find it much easier to get down than to get up again, especially of there is no-one or nothing to hold on to ! Your effort brought good reward in tis instance and we appreciate it !
My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
