LOL! Hello, Mr Toole. I like the comic aspect of this quite a bit - kinda like those old movies but with cars and mailboxes. Your pose is quite convincing, particularly the look of grim determination.

DOF is excellent in this - nice depiction of a blustery, cool day. The flip of the tail of the coat is what makes this.

Good shot of a pretty girl! Hair does the trick for meeting the challenge - like the light, too.

The woody is well posed and framed in this shot, but I don't get any impression that the kite is flying. Good title, though!

Calm and serene - the birds are well placed in the frame.

Definitely a good shot for a Wind challenge! Nicely seen - great capture.

Gorgeous colors and great job catching the sun as it's setting. My nit with this otherwise gorgeous shot is they way the surf line catches her right at the point where her legs attach to her body - when this first opened, I was trying to figure out what happened to her lower half, since the legs looked like a reflection of her upper body, not legs.

Wind Mill

Meets the challenge, but is lacking a bit in technicals. Good job of following the rule of thirds for the placement of the windmill but it looks as if it may be a bit underexposed which makes it noisy. If you take it into photoshop and use levels to deepen the darks a bit, you'll lose some detail in the ground but increase the contrast and enhance the color in the sky - it will have a lot richer look to it.

Multichallenge entry - would work for Bokeh, Wind, and portrait in landscape mode. Nicely done as well.
