Wow, I feel EXTREMELY unworthy to critique this shot.
First Impressions:
WOW!! This was my personal favorite in the challenge. The reason is that I believe that the wind element was probably the hardest one to capture and look well. Let's just say you went well beyond the call of duty their.
Composition:
Okay, there is only 1, just 1 thing I would do to maybe make this shot better than in already is, and that would be to include more of the pinwheel. But in all reality, that is such a minor technicality in this beautiful shot. I LOVE the blurring of the pinwheel, gives the sense of wind motion, and that fits the challenge extremely well. Personally, I love the center of the pinwheel and how it's in focus in contrast to the spinning wheels. The clouds also add a lot to this shot by adding more emphasis on wind. plus the white helps the balance a lot. The colors are phenomenal and I like how the colors works with the sky, it just works so well. The lighting is absolutely perfect, it really makes that wood stand out.
Other: I can't get over how well this shot was captured, picture perfect. If I had it my way, this shot would have ribboned. This is definetely a shot you should feel proud of. Good luck and I look forward to seeing some of your future work!

Looks great! Love the color but agree with the placement. It's just missing a little something that, if you had it, would have put it over the top. Maybe you cropped a little too much and should have left more of the pinwheel in the photo. Try again for kicks. I'd like to see what you come up with.
great shot. should've been at least in the top 10. love the colors and the sky and of course the perfect focus in the wood stick in the center while everything else is moving. ribbon worthy, LM
This would make a good stock photo - very effective. Up against the moody shots this may not fair so well, but you should be pleased with the shot anyway - it's uplifting, proficient and very well taken. My only crit is the movement in the clouds. I think these should be static or a pure blue sky.
Wonderful abstract feel and conveys so much more than just the concept of wind - it takes me back to summer days on the beach running around with similar whirly wind powered toys and I can even feel the sun and wind on my skin. I like the angle of the spindle, the amount of motion blur compared to the amount of discernable detail and I like the way the blue sky is broken up the fluffy white cloud.
This image shows that you have command of your camera. It took me a second to figure out just what it was but I knew I liked it as soon as I saw it. Nice job. 9
Its out of focus. Maybe if you buy a fast lens and a dlsr camera you could get a faster shutter speed to stop all this blur that is making it out of focus. i think the lens that comes on the drebel would probably do the trick :) Is this time lapse photography? ;)
