You captured the wind, often difficult to accomplishe. Well done.

Thanks Carole & Oved:-)

fascinating! If I tried to get the motion I would've tried to use longer shutter times and would get everything blurred :-\ and did I say I like it? :-) /Oved

Very nice Rod! I like how the shallow DOF makes the weeds look as though they are blurred from the motion of the wind. I also like the colors and the composition. You should frame this up and hang it in your house! Good shot! :-) CJ

Thanks mate:-)

Rod, I like this the most of your submissions. "Fleeting" is what comes to my mind when I view this picture. Great work. -RK

:-) Thanks Brent:-) It's almost refreshing not to see sharpness sometimes init:-) I think we’re too hung up with sharpness sometimes as lots of the great masters shots don’t seem overly sharp they just seem to have feel.

Are you sure the Missus didn't really take this one Rod ;-) I think it's a keeper for sure. I like many things about it, but especially the sense of motion. Well done!

Yeah, it's really beautiful. It's evocative of late spring, early summer. I really love the colors and the motion! Really good!
Rod 18-May-2006 10:01
Thanks all:-) It's nice to get lucky now & again & the missus loves it:-)

Very nice colors and DOF Rod. I like the reds ...... and the winds.

I like it. Colors, DOF, compositon, movement, all unite to produce a pleasing capture

Very nice, Rod. I like the combination of sharpness and blur, giving a sense of motion to the photo.
