The contrast and texture of this old Mill caught my eye. I liked the detail in the peeling paint and weathered wood.

The contrasts and textures are indeed wonderful here, and the soft light lets them come through nicely.  In terms of composition, it feels a bit static.  Did you try and camera tilts to test a diagonal comp?

Well seen to capture the pattern and texture of the wood.  The Rt side boards are more striking in color pattern. I wonder if rotating the image to landscape orientation with the Lt side on top would be as appealing or more.  Just a thought.

Excellent colors, lines and textures. I would consider cropping off the top board and right edge to make it more abstract and a cleaner image.

I got two different suggestions of cropping and rotating so I am adding them now. Please let me know what you think.Thanks

Here is the rotation. The original orientation was the original mill orientation as the boards went vertical not horizontal which interested me. Thank you for those suggestions.

Put me down for the re-posted vertical (not flipped). Looks good.

Great "eye" to have seen the potential here. Textures, lines, and colours all exceptional. I vote for the original, and like the top part and orientation as is.
Congrats on a very fine WP!
