candle in the wind

Comment:
The flame looks way too stable to be caused by any kind of airflow. That takes away from the image, at least for me. (That is, as far as meeting the challenge topic). Otherwise, I like the lighting gradient. 5.

Wind Surf
by elluls

Comment:
I like this one! nice, crisp image of the sail, perfect for the challenge. The only thing I could come up with as a constructive criticism is:
- tighter crop - removing the wave at the bottom would draw more attention (all the attention) to the surfer.
- playing with levels and hue to make the gray sky color livelier.
As is - 9.

the Winds of Winter

Don't see much wind here... The image also has light spots that draw too much attention. 3.

Carry me!, and show me the world.

Comment:
This might be too tight of a crop - seeing more of the surroundings (preferably empty sky) would better convey the sense of free flying. As is - 6.

Wind Tunnel - Aerodynamics
by saintnicholas_25

Comment:
Image is a bit out of focus. I wish I could clearly see the horse, but it seems like the focus is on the wipers.
Also, to meet the challenge better, a side shot (or 45 degree shot) would have been better, as the wind blows right into the viewer on this one, and that is hard to get from this image.

Where there are Waves there is Wind

Comment:
A tighter crop would have been better, I would suggest losing about 10% from the bottom, 15% from the top, and some amount from the right, to preserve aspect ratio. As is -solid 6.

Pencil's broken...Spirit is not!

Well, it seems that the checkbox will remain unchecked after this challenge. Whenever you use a frame, it tends to polarize the audience - some love it and some hate it. I don't think that this particular image needed framing, but I kind of like the choice of the frame color. The topic corresponds to the challenge. I'd go with a 7 for this one.

Broken Vow

Comment:
I like the idea! (Of course, since I had a similar shot in this challenge, almost identically titled). It seems that the ring could have been more in focus.

Broken Record

Comment:
What puzzles me with this image is the straight line of the cut. I haven't seen a broken LP in a long time, so I can't remember if they break on such straight lines in reality, but this one seemed so unreal.
Also, I could see the tripod and you taking the picture in the reflection off of the arm... and I wish it wasn't there.

Broken Beauty

I like how the 'brokenness' is implied, and not shown here. Updating to 7 after going through most images.
