Panned with leaves blowing from trees. This is one of perhaps 100; most were too out of focus or blurry to use.
crop, adjust curves, sharpen, reduce size, slight boost in saturation, save for web.

You need to freeze the leaf in this shot, I think. It's really hard to do, but the moving leaf with the blurry background just adds up to a confusing miasma. If the background was still and the leaf blurry, or the leaf still and the background blurry, it would imho be better.
I like the concept, and the picture has a lot of beauty. Pan is a little uneven, judging from the lines in the background, pole in background is also distracting. Overall, very nice 6
Cool! I like the sense of motion alot. The pole in the background shows the panning in addition to the windblown leaf which is kinda neat, too. Can't look at it for too long though!
Definitely meets the challenge. I like the bright fall colors. I realize the blur is part of communicating the blowing wind, but it's a little too much imo.
This image has nice colors and the composition is okay. But, I as a viewer take away that this is much more a blurred image rather than a "Wind" image. If the composition had showh the leaf floating through the air with a static background, it would better display the wind effect IMO. 5.
now, if the leaf was in focus and stopped in the action, and if the line on the road or any of the road wasn't there, this would be very good, but as it is...nope
