Yes, this one shows a mastery of several different techniques, and a good
eye for how to combine them. My top pick of the waterwheel entries.

I wouldn't say "washed out" exactly, but perhaps a little flat. The same
reason photographers are taught to shoot in mornings and late
afternoons/evenings; to let the warmer colors & longer shadows provide some
depth.  I think just lowering the sun angle slightly and giving the light a
slightly reddish hue would add a lot.

The water was one of the best parts.

Feels like I should be sitting on the bank with my toes in the water baiting
a fish hook!
