 I saw a photo in a fashion magazine of Julia Roberts with her hair blowing up in the air and tried to copy it. Not as glamorous as the original but I'm pleased with the results.

An interesting and flamming image and a very good entry for this challenge. It should have scored much higher.

The subject is brilliant, colours are amazing, however there are artifacts in this photo, hence the reason for a vote of 2. Artifacts (little jaggies) can sometimes be removed by careful cloning.

Now there's some *very* interesting wind-blown hair! Love the idea of her hair being as flames - some good post-processing here. Like just seeing her one eye peeking at the bottom of the photo. Great colors and action!

wild image. the "dull" area of hair left center is a slight drawback.

Excellent! Very nice lighting. It looks like some of the areas of hair have been oversaturated and lost some detail, but I don't think it detracts from the image much. This is one of my top picks for this challenge.

Interesting shot, the windblown hair maybe needed a faster shutter speed to stop the action a bit more. 7.
