That is a nice landscape. I wish that there were some dramatic clouds in the sky.. but hey.. only select photographers can control the weather ! ;)

The fading into the background of the petals at the back is a nice touch. Good job ;-)

Very nice. Though maybe that's an ITB - In To Border - effect. ;-)

Prevailing winds have that effect on things, particularly in very barren areas like the one shown here. I like the addition of the cow - adds quite nicely to the photograph.

I cannot believe how many brilliant pictures I am seeing in this challenge. It is starting to freak me out. Another fave, another 10.

love this shot
great the way the cow is staring out at you
a tad humorous too - or is that just the way my mind works?

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.

Interesting composition and combination of shapes, but I don't see the wind. The calf is a nice addition to the picture.
