Two interesting contrasts here...
1

To begin with - on the 1st image in which you slowed your shutter speed down to capture the blurr effect of the blades - I just don't know what to think here.  You don't often see (if any) photos with these originally slow moving blades seemingly captured this way.  To me it looks a bit unrealistic as when you do things like this, IMO, it is meant to show speed, or imply such.  And to me (again, everything is subjective), the blurr effect with traditional Dutch windmills don't necessarily go hand in hand.

The 2nd image is nice in that you used the rules of 3rds perfectly without favoring one side of the frame over the other and to me it captures nicely the effect you had in mind.  I would have done it this way also.

Just my 2 cents worth - others may disagree.
