This mill is located near my house and is the symbol of the community in which I live. I consider it very photogenic. Being somewhat of a novice photographer, I would appreciate feedback and criticism of these photos, and of my attempts at editing. Thanks.

All the images of the mill work for me except the third one that has the trunk of a tree that I see as a visual disturbance.Wish i had that mill where I live. Thanks for sharing.

I agree with PixelStan. Its ok to frame a scene with a tree but you need to have some over hanging branches to give reference to what you are doing.
The first photo is the best, IMHO. it literally jumped out at me. Loved it.

Agree. The first image "fills the frame" with the mill. Excellent shot with the reflection. Nice work!
Not being an expert (on anything) I can only tell you what my impression is: No. 1 is by far the best, there is too much to distract you on the other ones!

I loved taking pictures with my photography class at "The Old Mill." One of my favorite images taken there is of a spider's web in the inside corner of an old window, by John Avery our instructor. He was an excellent Eagle-Beacon photographer for many years and taught darkroom classes out on East Central at a photography store.
I agree the first is best. For me because the reflection of the wheel is very clear. The only thing wrong with that picture, to me, is how close the top border is to the top of the mill. I agree about b the distracting tree on. Number 3.
Very nice. #1 hands down.
The first thing that struck me was the slight green cast caused by the tree canopy filtering the sunlight. I would correct that by reducing your green channel about 5%.
Overall, I agree with those who say that #1 is the best overall, but they all have lots of possibilities. I would crop #2 square with the water wheel in the centre, maybe increase the contrast a bit and add a soft vignette.
Crop #3 to remove the offending trunk (not square) and do the same with contrast and vignette.
Crop the last one 16:9 and see what it looks like.
I didn't try any of these solutions, but if they were my shots, that is how I would proceed.
Stay well and keep on posting.
I like #1 best. Judicious cropping would improve the others.

I agree with #1 being the best....next time you may want to try a vertical shot from the same location...good luck.
Nice set especially the first image!
That's a nice country scene.
