just wanted to say I thought this was very powerful. I'll bet in another challenge it would have done very well. I love the whipping wind on this one. It did not get the recoginition it deserved.

I think too much has been colored. Over half the pic is in color, but my eye isn't drawn to anything in particular.

Too much colored area, the desaturation is not significative.
