Very nice. Definitely the apparent DOF that makes the diff on this one :-)

I really don't get a feel of the wind blowing in this shot. My first thought was that you were going with an "earth" theme.

I think that in this image there are 4 distracting elements.
1) the white line on the background of the reed
2) the reed on the lower-middle side
3) the leaf before the reed
4) the white line in the lower-right side.
I like the composition, the colours are good and the sharpness is good

I like this but what ever is oof in front of the reed is distrating from the sharp reed.
