Fantastic shot. Captures both the feeling of movement as well as fantastic fall colours. Love it. I can't help but wonder how much was camera vs wind movement though.

I just love this photo ... very impressionistic in my opinion ... well done

Blurry, rather than windy, to my eyes, unfortunately. Nice blue sky though, I think.

It's like an impressionist painting...a Monet.

Beautiful. Painterly. Windy. Motion seems to be in many slightly different directions, instead of motion blur. 8

Lovely abstract - colors are very nice. Only thing I'd suggest to better depict "wind" vice camera movement is to have a few of the trunks more clearly focused. I do like this the way it is, though.

I love the warm colours against a clean blue sky. The painterly effect - whether achieved by your selection of camera settings or by post processing - enhances the photo, IMO. 8.

Ahhh! GORGEOUS!!!!!!!! This is an absolutely FANTASTICALLY WONDERFUL abstract. This should be hanging in the Tate Gallery of modern art.

Great creativity. Its brave to submit an image like this as I'm sure you either know or are finding out. Most people don't like the different images that break the rules. I do. Those are my favorite, and those kinds of photos make certain photographers stand out. While your photo is very creative (the first 3 in creativity for me so far), I think the compositional element isn't really there. It's the exact oposite of what most people have. I would work on trying different areas with different branch sequences, maybe zooming in during the exposure, or using a tripod so the branches are clear, or maybe using a slow shutter speed and flash. Experimenting with tons of ideas can really be fun.

The blue sky spoils it - the blue patches distract a lot.

There have been a number of images (IMO) in this challenge where the subject comes off as blurred rather than as portraying Wind to the viewer. This image falls into that category for me.

I like the colors you have captured in the oranges, yellows, greens, and they almost form an abstract image. I just wish there was something that showed me more wind rather than blurred/moving image which can happen due to camera shake or if the photographer is moving rather than the subject moving.

Score: 5.
