Neat idea. Would have a little more impact I think if there was more motion blur. Also seems underexposed (dark). Good luck.

Certainly looks like a blustery, windy day. The photo seems a bit dark and somewhat busy. You should also maximize at least one side to 640 pixels to showcase your photo. Good luck in the challenge.

Last Flight

This is a shot I had considered trying but didn't have the time or patience to pursue. The concept is great, but IMO the execution is a tad bit short on this difficult shot. From the thumbnail I was thinking "oh WOW!" but at full size the leaf is too blurred to really take this image to the top in this challenge. Dang. So close.

Sand and Sea

This has HDR written all over it. The clouds look 3D and overexposed in a few spots. Cool capturing the blowing sand and whitecap waves. The sand is the coolest part of this photo for me. Good luck in the challenge.

First storm of the fall

Funny exaggerated POV here. :D Certainly is some wind going on to blow that mane around like that.

Aftermath

Hmmm. Ok. There WAS some wind here at one point maybe. I think some action or motion to indicate wind at the time of capturing the photo is going to go a little farther in scoring higher with viewers/voters in this challenge. JMO of course. Good luck.

WINDWRAPPED-WINDSWEPT

If the tops of those flag poles weren't blurry this would come across a little stronger. I guess the whole pole could be moving. Hmmm, hadn't considered that. Unfortunately, the first reaction is that it's blurry and many viewers aren't going to slow down enough to try and see what is happening here (it's VERY windy). Did you do something to alter the sky color in post-processing? Haven't seen that hue before in a natural condition. Hope you were bundled up - it looks COLD! :D Anyway, best of luck to you in the challenge.

Open Window!

I hope this is a double exposure! Actually, the isolated candle wick gives it away a bit. Cute idea. Good luck.

Shaped by the East Wind

Show me the wind in action, not the results. At least to score well in this challenge I think some wind motion or action taking place is needed. JMO. As for the technicals on this image, I like the lines created by the bg hill and the bent trees. The cow takes away a little as it easily draws the eye over and becomes a more dominant subject. The conversion to B/W makes sense given the sky you had to work with, although I think the tonal range is a little short (blacks could be increased). A small dose of additional contrast would also help the image from being flat. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Expressing the Prevailing Wind

It's "ok". I think the limited range of movement for the windblown petal is making it more challenging to see "wind" in your photo. Some motion blur via a slower shutter speed would help but would introduce it's own set of problems to overcome (i.e. - the whole flower moving instead of just the petal). All of the above is JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge.
