Beck's Mill in Washington County, Indiana
Beck's Mill in Washington County, Indiana

This is a picture of Beck's Mill in Washington County, Indiana. It is on the National Register of Historic Places. Of the four pictures I took of the mill, I think it is the best example of a midwestern mill in need of restoration. I think the fall color helps to make it a distingished photo.

Comments:I hope people will think that this photo deserves featured picture consideration.

  • Comment' the sky is a little blown. The resolution is too small (do you have a bigger version?) The horizon seems tilted. And there is something about the color/contrast that makes the image appear a little dull. The image to me personally, is missing that extra bit of 'pop', you know the dynamic element that makes the image unique and 'worthy' of being featured. A side note, I love abandoned buildings and historic sites. Seems like the kind of place I'd like to visit, especially this time of year.--Andrew c 01:20, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment I like this for its historical significance and picturesque setting, but I think your camera was tilted 1 or 2 degrees counterclockwise. With most buildings, I would make vertical members vertical, but it looks as if this mill may be slipping off of its foundation, so that method won't be reliable. But the top of the waterfall should appear horizontal, I think. I'd try rotating it clockwise to that point to see if it looks better. Appraiser 19:22, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Support picture is definately clear and conveys good subject matter and content. It is also a unique candidate for featured picture status and gives visitors to the site something a little out of the ordinary to look at on the main page. Well done Ahadland 00:20, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
