Wind Beneath My Wings

Comment:
Looks similar in location to the 'Oxymoron' shoot if I have my photographer straight. :) This entry here is fine overall. Nothing earth shaking. I think the main subject is not a large enough piece of the composition, and the theme of wind doesn't come to the forefront as it should. JMO of course. As a B/W the post-processing looks fine with nice contrast and range coverage. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Nice color, great DOF, sharp and well focused. Something about the expression on her face is distracting, particularly her mouth - seems unnatural perhaps. JMO of course. Nice idea and well executed overall. Good luck.

Bad feather day

Cute. Nice isolated subject against that blue background. Good catch.

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.
