This was captured at a pumpkin patch this past October. The wind was blowing and she was dressed as a little indian. I debated whether or not to title it "Wind in her hair" but I thought the Indian outfit was too subtle in this one. Another title that her mother refers to this picture as is "The 'Firestarter' One"

this is a fabulous picture of a young girl with a precociously aware gaze. the title appears hasty and unplanned and does not do the image justice.

a different facial expression would have been great, but this is still an awesome image and a great capture.

Holy static electricity, Batman! I love the wild hair. Everything else contributes in a supporting role. Focus, DOF, dynamic range of light are all very good. Well done. Among my top picks.

IMO this is an excellent capture. The fly away hair really makes this image come alive. Great timing on your part. Hope to see it finish in top five. Good luck!

I really like this shot. The processing really gives it an initial impact, and the hair is just wild! Very nice :)

great work on this photo, if the expression of the girl's face would be "better" then this photo would be outstanding!

A simply amazing image in every possible respect. A truly one of a kind capture and absolutely worthy as a ribbon contender in this challenge.
