Nice sharp focus on foreground, but the background is distracting and confusing, consider shallower DOF for more separation.

Nicely captured - crisp, clean, good color, good use of DOF.

This one looks like there is actual wind and not just camera movement/shake or post-photo motion edit...nice job.

This definitely shows wind, but there isn't a focal point for the eyes to settle on. Nice depth of field, too.

I like this for it's simplicity. The image itself is busy (bg trees, etc...). You've shown wind at work and connected to the challenge theme. The angle of the branch you've selected adds some nice interest with the diagonal lines. All of the above said, I'm not sure that your image has enough pop (WOW factor) to really move people to vote it much higher that 5-5.3. JMO of course. Best of luck to you in the challenge.
