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.

Wind Whipped Water

Well, you certainly can tell it was a windy day. :D While it's a nice photo it doesn't jump out and say "look at me". The pier/dock adds a bit of clutter, however it does add context (which is good). Seems that maybe it was a little underexposed and you pushed it up some to bring out the foreground. In doing so the whites in the clouds have blown out. The photo is also quite cold with the heavy blue cast. That may have been your intent, but I think it could stand to be warmed up a little by adjusting the color temperature to a warmer tone. All of the above is JMO of course. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

It's a wonderful shot - just feels so contrived for this challenge.

Give Way To The Wind

Hmmm. Will a slightly overprocessed image still do well at DPC? Certainly time will tell with this one. It's a neat image (pun not originally intended, but fits) that is well thought out and fun to look at. Given the severity of the umbrellas' condition, your hair should be blowing around a bit more to really sell the concept. Good luck in the challenge.

Shadow of the Wind

Hey! This is pretty darn cool. :D I really like the shadow. Good job on finding some unblemished sand! The positioning of the main subjects in your photo work quite well. Good luck in the challenge.

Gone With The Wind

Great movie title. :D Nice color in this photo. The connection to wind is a little thin - I understand your POV, but I think for many viewers some indication of wind actually happening at the time of image capture would sell it better. For example, some leaves blowing off the tree captured in flight. Good luck.

Venus Rising

Interesting. Not sure why her eyes are closed - feels a little strange that way. The photo also seems a bit washed out and overexposed. JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge.

Unable to Withstand...

A slight breeze to move the smoke could have sold this better IMO. As is, it's all tied to the title and doesn't illustrate wind directly. Nice job on exposing for the smoke, it has an interesting color cast to it near the top.
