Wind

Very nice macro shot..I'll have to give you that. The lighting is perfect and there is great detail and focus. It's a magnificant shot, however, I don't see the effects of weather here. Now, if perhaps, you could have gotten lucky and photographed one of the "puffs" being blowen off by the wind, then yes, you would have met the challenge.

Acid Rain Shower

I really like the way the leaf seems to be "popping" out of the picture. The focus and depth is great. I don't really care for the title you chose...a rain shower is more refreashing than acidic. However, the glare on the many of the raindrops is distracting. The drop at the tip of the main leaf is the best. Wish they all could have looked like that one.

Weathered

This is a nice picture. I like the mountain in the background. Nicely focused, it shows what detail there is in the "weathered" fencing. Some of the weedy bottom part of the picture is a little undesirable and could have been cropped out.

Nice! Good composition, focus and depth. You were able to show nice texture and detail of the leaf. Just might be a tad on the dark side. Simple adjustment to brightness/constast could bring the colors out more.

Oh wow. A lot of distruction here caused from weather so good use of the challenge. The blurriness, though, is causing distruction of your score of your picture in this challenge.

Beautiful capture of the sun showing the bursts of light surrounding it. I like the positioning of the windmill. The problem is, there is a lot of wasted space here. I think some cropping could really do this photo a lot of justice by putting more emphasis on the drama.

Very nice picture, however I would have liked to see it cropped a little closer. The lamp is the main subject so cropping a little to the left of it, keeping the areas below and above, but then extending right to include the illuminated portion of the bush. I'd like to see you try that and see what you think. The light source (the lamp) shows the sleet falling which I think is the dramatic part. All the wasted space takes away from the drama. As you can probably tell, I've spent a lot of time on this photo...I really like it.

Couldn't have pulled this shot off without the bird. Very nice capture. The picture just goes on and on with something to look at all levels. The "island" in the background on the left to the bird in the middle to the rocks in the foreground. I love it! On my computer, I have to scroll to see all areas of the picture. I wish I didn't have to do that so that I could see it as a whole. Is a must with this one, but that's my problem.

One Drop Joins Many

Beautiful picture. Would have been so much better, however, if some adjustments to the contrast would have been made. Overall, it's too light and the colors are dulled.

Ominious cloud formation. Just distracted by the artifact and grain of the picture. Otherwise would be a very nice picture.
