Excellent choice of the image. One of the top candidates I rated so far... 8+

Wind in sail

I wish for the livelier colors of the sky and the water. Also, it looks like the boat is slightly out of focus (by looking at the line between the red and white) That takes ranking away from potentially high-placement photo. only 6.

kite surfing

Great image, well matching the challenge. I am not sure what the original colors were, but given that the kites are usually colorful and most likely contrast both the sky and the sand well, I wonder if the color image would have been better here. 8.

Strong Wind

Comment:
This should be a ribbon winner, given the competition. I don't care too much for non-standard aspect ratios, especially when it doesn't seem to do much for the image. I would have cropped the lower part, probably all 2/3rds of the gravel below the bottom grass line. That would have also put the object more towards the lower 3rd, removing it from the almost vertical center of the image. 9.

Wind Blown

Great choice for the difficult challenge - you were lucky to find those trees! Now, the weather wasn't great, I could see, and that spoils the photo a bit for me. 8.

Yesterday's Paper

Good idea! NOw, the composition could have been better, I think. Applying the rule of 3rds, the horz. line between the concrete and the grass should have been placed either at the upper or a lower 1/3 of the image. Your position could have been a bit lower, to more emphasize the airborne paper.
Great job on meeting the challenge, again. 6.

another never seen before pet pic

I think, since you put the sunglasses on the dog, and you wanted to picture the wind blowing, a better choice might have been a real scarf. Scarfs are usually worn in cold, windy weather, and that would improve the image in my eyes. 4.

Billowing Angel

The blurry image does not seem to convey the wind - and is not the most pleasant thing to look at. Unfortunately, cannot recommend the improvement except perhaps shorter exp. time that would have yielded less blurry image, yet leave teh indication of imbalance caused by the wind. 3.

Good wind

Very nice capture and choice for this difficult challenge. I only wish for livelier colors of the sea and the sky/stronger blue would lighten up the photo. 7.

Shattered Idea

Comment:
Great timing, a bit weak on lighting. It's the dark background that dulls the whole image a bit too much for my taste.
