 I set out to get a photo for the "Wind" challenge, but the wind wasn't cooperating, so I decided to use it for this challenge instead.

Nice composition. Love those vertical cords leaning in the opposite direction she is, and the non-distracting background is great. 8

In the spirit of the landscape nature of the challenge, i might have cropped off more of the bottom of the photo. You have the nice wide landscape of the shore & water. The bottom of the photo doesn't add to that linear nature, and doesn't add much to the photo. crop it to just below her right hand and look the results - the focus snaps right to her and the screnery rather than on the boat, which is wherre the current photo draws my eyes.

Hyper-focal distance really adds to this photo! Exquisite Blues in the water! Good job! :)
