People Being Windblown

Robyn Stapleton is both a talented vocalist and a natural beauty. I love the warm sidelight of the sun and her curls of wind blown red hair that contrast so well with her blue eyes. The Scottish countryside makes an ideal background. Her slender smile seems appropriate and a bit mystical. Well done!

The model has gorgeous, wind blown auburn hair that contrasts well with her hazel green eyes. The tight composition adds to the intensity of the image. Overall, the lighting is a bit flat and the sheen on the bridge of the nose mildly distracting. Some photographs are powerful enough, either due to their quality, content, or evoked emotions to stay with me long after the viewing. This is one of those exceptional images.

Intensity! Determination! The race is a struggle, pushing the “Color Runner” to physical and mental limits. The paint is scattered everywhere: face, clothing, head band and in his wildly blown hair. The capture is excellent with a spot-on focus on all important elements but a shallow depth of field to soften the background. Well done!

Wild Hair! Wild Hair Everywhere! Even the facial hair appears to be wind blown. A great capture picked up by a long telephoto that isolated the subject from the full scene. A somewhat unusual technique, although I often use a wide to short telephoto for street photography to avoid intruding on candid behavior. Love it!

Biting wind and blowing snow! Such a stark image! The composition is excellent with the photographers fighting the elements and the coat adding a spark of red to the scene pastels. The old house looks like some protection from the cold wind but without much warmth. Nice shot! Hopefully, no suffered frostbite.
