Breezy sunset

I'm starting to recognize some of the popular backgrounds. Very nice colors and rainbow effect fo the sunset. The matching effect on the scarf is a nice touch and of course is a good way to convey the Wind theme. 10.

Chasing Tail

Very nice composition. I was thinking kites too when I first saw the challenge. It looks like the image may have been a little over sharpened in post processing as the edges around the black are a little pixelated.

Score: 6.

Wind Play

Comment:
There have been a number of images (IMO) in this challenge where the subject comes off as blurred rather than as portraying Wind to the viewer. This image falls into that category for me.

I like the colors you have captured in the reds, oranges, yellows, greens, and they almost form an abstract image. I just wish there was something that showed me more wind rather than blurred/moving image which can happen due to camera shake or if the photographer is moving rather than the subject moving.

Your composition is the best I have seen among the blurred images. I've been giving those about a 5-6. This one is so nice in composition, that I'm going with an 8.

Nice use of the subject and scarf to convey the challenge criterai. The image is a little overexposed (too bright or washed out) on the front of the model.

Score: 6.

A Storm Brews in the Enchanted Forest...

Comment:
I really like the composition here. The colors of the yellows,greens, and oranges. Unfortunately, I don't get teh feeling of "Windy" from this image. I get, seclusion, wandering, or simply, "deep woods". The composition is enough to get a few bonus points over difficulty conveying the challenge criteria (from my perception of course).

Score: 8.

snapdragons in the breeze

Comment:
There have been a number of blurred shots in the challenge. Unfortunately, to me as a viewer, it is hard to tell if the blur is formed from the wind moving the subject during the open shutter or if it is simply motion blur due to a hand-held photo. So, I get more of "Blurred" instead of "Wind" as the perception. The small piece of fence in the background helps to identify that it was a moving subject rather than moving photographer but I have to go searching for that stable point of reference.

I really like the choice of colors you found for the composition as they do improve its visual appeal.

Score: 8.

Sailing

Comment:
Great composition with the sailboats in the river/harbor. The only critique I really have is that the background of the cityscape is so busy that the sailboats almost get lost amongst the buildings. Very nice clarity in the shot. Score: 9

Nice use of selective color and the wispy ends of the branches are good at carrying the challenge message to the viewer (Windy).

Good job. 10.
