 I have always wanted to shoot the wind eddies that play with the fallen leaves. Well, I'd spent almost an hour today doing just that, and this is the best I could do. Not really happy with this shot. I think that I could make a small movie clip, or even a three-frame sequence, but no single frame actually presents the beauty of the moment. :(

The leaves seem as if someone just rushed by on the sidewalk. I really like the shot and the movement of the leaves contrasts nicely with the solid/stationary buildings/car/light post.

I gave this a 7 with no comment because it simply fulfilled the challenge in a perfect way.

Nice movement in foreground - boring background

Nicely captured movement. The setting, and car and the buildings aren't necessarily the most appealing backdrops but makes up for it with the swirling leaves. One of the better expressions of wind in the challenge.

My favorite of the leaves blowing shots so far - because it has context! IT's a simple shot, but it works well for this challenge, and as an added bonus, makes one wonder about the person across the street - sure seems awfully deserted - what is he/she doing there?

there's something about this image i keep coming back to. i can't quite put my finger on it, but i really like it. it feels a bit like a still from a movie, the opening/closing of the car door is part of the story unfolding...

Great movement in this shot. We really get a sense of wind. Nice composition as well.
