Challenge: Wind II (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Canon PowerShot SD400
Location: Top of the Rock, NYC
Date: Oct 26, 2006
Date Uploaded: Oct 26, 2006

 This is an "old school" style self portrait (holding my camera out in front of me to take the shot) taken on the observation deck at the top of Rockefellar Center in NYC. The wind gusts were so strong up there I could barely hold my camera!

Thank you for all of the lovely comments and votes.

Just found this. My first thought was "what a great, fun, full-of-life shot. I bet voters knocked it for focus, motion blur, etc." I'm so glad to see I was wrong!

I was up there myself a few weeks after you took this; I have a couple of shots in my portfolio.

Going in my favorites. :)

A very fun entry, one of my favorite in the challenge. I wish I could see a bit more of her face but this is getting a 10 from me.

A great burst! Bump.

Return for comment. Great wind shot. Perhaps slightly soft, and a bit overexposed sky, but the aesthetics are great. Good luck (8).

Love the laughter and blowing hair. Wish for a little more eye/s. Captivating expression.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

A perfect literal take on the challenge. A little too light in areas of the sky and sense that it should be rotated to the left a touch but nonetheless certainly worthy of high marks. Good job!

Fun picture

Great shot! I love how her hair covers most of her face and her surprised look. The B&W works well too.

 11/02/2006 10:31:27 PM
Great capture.

It looks like your model was having a blast! Nice job on the B&W.

Love the smile :)

This seems to capture a genuine happy emotion. Black and white is a great choice. Meets the challenge very well. Great photo!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice B/W photo that meets the challenge quite well. The fun is infectious (her smile). :D May be a little overexposed in the clouds (left center), but you can get away with that a little with this PP treatment. Good luck in the challenge.

I think that this may have been my favorite, except for the guy in the background with the camera.

Best windy hair shot in the challenge. Reminds me of Monet, but has the irreverent spirit of Manet. 9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 10/31/2006 08:16:27 PM
Excellent! I love almost everything about this photo... The guy in the background is obviously distracting, though, and I would consider cropping it differently if possible, as she is in an awkward position in the frame.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 10/31/2006 07:46:45 PM
Very fun capture, and definitely shows the effects of wind!
