Very nice composition with framing by color and use of diagonals. 
Thank you.

Can you explain why there are cords or rope going from one blade to the other and also around each blade?
I have never seen this before. I agree the composition is nice.

Dear Triplets, this is a classic! Your exposure is perfect. The VERY MINOR color fringing around the white against blue is absolutely ignorable. Equally ignorable is the TINY bit of noise in the red flowers. I had to download the file, then use the + magnification to see it! The only reason I did this was to see if it would stand up to englargement. It very much will. Great photograph!

According to the folks at the windmill, they're just to help stabilize the blades. They are not essential to the operation.
Thanks for looking,

Thank you MM -- appreciate the comments. Do you think a lower ISO would have helped the noise issue (and adjusting the other elements of the exposure triangle to compensate)? What causes the color fringing and what could I have done to correct it?

Dennis,
The color fringing is inherent in the kit lens. Better lenses will have less of it. It's really not bad in your photo, just a point of observation! As for ISO, you can try bracketing at lower ISOs, try two or three fractional steps. The D300's sensor was better than the D200, but later cameras had better (more sensitive) sensors. Again, it's not terrible by any means!

So my camera is a D3100...not sure if that makes a difference.
