My sister graciously submitted to the idea of hanging upside from a brach roughly 11 feet from the ground for this challenge. (Somehow I manage to keep her cooperating in spite of my insane ideas. lol) I hope this pic does at least semi-well because a lot of work went into it.
The first round of pics didn't look too good because we had no leaves blowing, but for the second try I blew leaves at her with a huge fan while using the 10 second self timer to catch them mid-air.
Levels were adjusted, saturation decreased, sharpening increased and color permutation applied. Lastly, border added.

One of best creative shots i ever saw in dpc... uhhhhh...
Was always wondering about taking pictures of winter without snow... that its no colors to show... but this makes me change my mind. Like pink of trees and yellow sky... and sure girl... Top points.
I really love this green outfit. It fits so good with the purpel trees and the red hair.
Not to forget this amazing vanilla sky ! Definitly one of the top three of this contest. 10 points, dude !!!
This is nice but I get the impression its all out of kilter, in that the trees look like they have been blown one way, and the ladies hair is blowing the other. Interesting effort, anyway
this picture is delightfully weird. Was the color retouched at all? The yellow sky sure is something. I would like this picture much more if the subject stood out from the background more - the trees are too contrasty and draw the eye away from the hanging girl. I guess there might not have been much you could do about it, except hope for overcast weather . . . but maybe if you're going to work on this photo further, beyond the scope of DPC, you can do some levels adjustments and selective dodging and burning.
i don't usually like artificial appearances such as this, but this one catches my eye in an attractive way - perhaps because of the unique and dynamic angle, as well as the subdued hues (as opposed to the bright, overbearing saturation that often accompanies tweaked images)
the colors, the angles, the textures, the patterns, ahh! I'm having a seizure!
hehe, just kidding. I do like this picture, although, I don't feel it quite meets the challenge.
