When it's windy

August 2017

Thank you for entering my competition. And congratulations on coming in my top ten. I love how you have captured the wind in this image. The shot is nice and sharp and the tones are evenly balanced. I also feel that there is an element of humour and when I first saw this image it made me smile because of the this big guy looks bit miffed about having his fur blown all over the place. Well done!

Thank you for entering my competition. And congratulations for coming in the top ten. When I first saw this cute little fella I knew he had to be in there. I love the low angle to which you have taken this shot. And the way Baxter is looking into the wind and looks so deep in thought. you have captured the movements of the moderate wind well. Well done!

Thank you for entering my competition. And congratulations for coming in my top ten. I love the way you have captured the boat almost right bang on in the centre. I really feel that this works for this image. The light and darker grey tones also give the shot a haunting moodiness. I believe that this is quite a unique image. Well done!

Thank you for entering my competition. And congratulations for coming in second place in my top ten. I love the long exposure here, which gives a haunting moody feel as the waves crash over the barrier. This also makes it hard to see what is under the waves. It must have been a very stormy day when you took this image? Love it. Well done!

Thank you for entering my competition. I love the motion blur which works well in black/white. You have captured the gentleman expression well as he battles against the very strong winds and tightens his grip on his hood. Nice capture. Well done!

Thank you for entering my competition. I love the vibrant colours in this image. And the shot is nice and sharp. The people look like they are enjoying themselves as they sail in the warm tropical breeze. Love it! Well done!

Thank you for entering my competition. And congratulations on coming third place in the top ten. This image really shows the extremes to which wind can go. I love the moodiness the storm has created and the way you have captured this in the image. The dark grey tones show just how angry this storm is getting. You have captured a well detailed image. Well done!

Thank you for entering my competition. And congratulations for coming in the top ten. I love the fiery red hair. the colour is really bold. And the lighting has also created an orange flare which really accentuates the image. The lighting on the model is great as it both highlights and shadows the model. I also love how the wind is blowing from behind the model. Well done!

Thank you for entering my competition. And congratulations oncoming first place. It has been a very tough decision to make between my top three. However, what I love about this image is the well balanced composition. The lighting is also well balanced as it makes the folds and textures of the veil stand out. I particularly love the way you have captured the veil as it delicately floats in the breeze on the sea shore. Altogether a very well thought out and orchestrated image. A very well done.!

Wind is a phenomenon that we cannot see. We only know of it's presents when we feel it's gentle touch across our cheeks, or sense its forces when it ravages our lands. So, join me in a flight with wind and show me it's moods and reactions.
