I think he's right - if the contrast were better, this would work much better. The value range is skewed towards the greys and whites, which results in a washed-out looking image. Especially where soft focus shots are concerned, having good value is important.

High Wind over the Rockies

Great shot, but the wind isn't too clear... if there were a snowy cap being blown off one of the mountains, I think it would meet the challenge much better.

Cool shot, but baaaad lens flare.

Worth Losing the Hat?
by trnqlty

Comment:
The hat is a subtley of this picture, and I like that it's right at the end of that arm of clouds. That the guy's head just clears the treeline is also a nice compositional element.
I like this one a lot :)

Harnessing The Wind

Loose cropping on this photo greatly detracts from its impact.

~Ribbons in the Wind~
by tmilob

Comment:
I think this might actually have worked better with a high shutter speed. The curling of the ribbons would probably have made it clear that they were being blown. Here there is nothing well enough in focus to make a compelling focal point for the picture. Still... it's way better than the zillions of flag photos in this challenge... :)

Airport wind sock

Comment:
I like the contrast in this photo. The white on almost black is very striking. However, the focal point winds up being the cones in the front. The windsock, which is the one thing in the photo that communicates the idea of wind, becomes nothing more than an incidental element in the picture. A close-up of just the windsock, with the little cones around it, might have worked better.

Nice :)
This would be the perfect sort of shot for a polaroid gallery...
