This was one of my favorites in the challenge. Sometimes subtle is better for photography, but not DPC.

Whoa!! This was in my top 3 picks for the challenge. You were robbed. A thing of beauty and had a 9 vote from me.

Wow. That's a really tough score for such a beautiful photograph. You really have to hit people over the head kinda like how Larus' shot accomplished.

very nice DOF. It's definitely more of a breeze than wind, but it's still pleasant.

you've capture the essence of summer breeze here - great lighting -- one of my favorites this challenge

Clean and fresh. Good use of natural (back)light and a wonderful example of a gentle breeze.

Lovely model, blue eyes, pose, lighting including fill, bokeh, strands of hair across forehead and neck. Needs a little more wind effect, breeze-blown garments might help. Nicely done.

nice warm tones and great use of DoF to get an out of focus (bokeh) background. Her skin looks a little bit too smooth though. I'd like to see more of a natural look there.

Beautiful portrait and really nice bokeh. Just the right amount of wind, any less and it wouldn't be apparent, any more and it would be too much.

The lone strands of hair across her face are distracting -- If this is a Wind photo I really want to see a lot more Wind. The wind just comes across here as a distracting element in an otherwise nice picture of a girl rather than an element of the photo itself. I also don't really like the composition, I'd put the girl more to the right.

Nice portraiture - a bit much dodging in the eyes. But great bokeh, good expression, and nice color tone.

Nice bokeh. Funny I never heard that term before that challenge and now I seem to see it everywhere. Can't see anything at all to improve with the photograph itself. If it doesn't do as well as you expected, there are a couple that capture the wind a little better. This meets the challenge but maybe if her hair was lifted a little bit more by the breeze.

A wonderful soft portrait. I do see the breeze's slight effect but this image would've been even more perfect for Bokeh III. Great shot :)

this one would've been perfect for the Bokeh challenge! :) i love it

This is a beautiful shot, lovely bokeh and lovely girl. I wish the top of her head wasn't cut off - to me that just makes the whole thing seem incomplete.

nice bokeh

Very nice portrait - but this photo does not show me or typify the wind.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The edges of the circles in the bokeh are a little edgy, but the overall photograph is excellent. nice use of the model with just a gentle breeze.

Score: 10.

Beautiful (but maybe it should have been in "Bokeh" :)

It's shots like this that are so well executed in these challenges, and it will be a like this that will blue ribbon.

Everything is perfect. If I have to be hyper-critical, then the highlights on her hair are a little much, but this give me a feeling of late afteroon outside, which is great.

9 - Good luck

stunning, what a beautiful face...gorgeous eyes, lighting, lovely composition...my only negative is that hair across her forehead and neck, but I guess they are the main indication of wind...lovely bokeh in the lens as well...great backlight 9

Absolutely gorgeous image. Bumping to a 7. Good luck!

Nice backlit image. Love the bokeh. Her eyes are beautiful. I hope people see enough "wind" in it to score it high. I'd crop just above the knots in her straps.
