Over exposed IMHO - could have tried a faster shutter speed to avoid this much to bright sky.. but, good luck :o)

Amazing colors (are those the real colors?), but the blown out sky ruins the picture :-(

This would have been a fantastic candidate for HDR:

Comment by Borusa:
Not a bad photo, but the d-sat doesn't really work for me, and the greens are just way too light.

Comment by eqsite:
The colors seem to be a little over saturated and the blown out sky is a little distracting. A graduated ND filter might have helped even out the exposure for you. I do like the composition as a whole though.

Spent some time on that selective desat I'll bet. :) Interesting approach to the challenge. The branch certainly stands out this way. The lighting is somewhat harsh and you've lost detail in a couple of places. May have also pushed the saturation just a little too much. Not really seeing a whole lot of 'Wind' here. If there is motion indicating some wind it's not evident in a strong enough manner IMO. All JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge.

I like the picture but the sky is washed out.

The white sky pulls away some from this some for me.

Works well to depict "wind" - the saturated portion may be just a bit too centered for my taste - more to the left to give the invisible wind more room to move out of the picture, maybe.
