Windby

Wow, I feel EXTREMELY unworthy to critique this shot.
First Impressions:
WOW!! This was my personal favorite in the challenge. The reason is that I believe that the wind element was probably the hardest one to capture and look well. Let's just say you went well beyond the call of duty their.
Composition:
Okay, there is only 1, just 1 thing I would do to maybe make this shot better than in already is, and that would be to include more of the pinwheel. But in all reality, that is such a minor technicality in this beautiful shot. I LOVE the blurring of the pinwheel, gives the sense of wind motion, and that fits the challenge extremely well. Personally, I love the center of the pinwheel and how it's in focus in contrast to the spinning wheels. The clouds also add a lot to this shot by adding more emphasis on wind. plus the white helps the balance a lot. The colors are phenomenal and I like how the colors works with the sky, it just works so well. The lighting is absolutely perfect, it really makes that wood stand out.
Other:
I can't get over how well this shot was captured, picture perfect. If I had it my way, this shot would have ribboned. This is definetely a shot you should feel proud of. Good luck and I look forward to seeing some of your future work!
