I thought that spring was near. This image was taken just before the big storm that hit Ohio. The day that I took this image was warm and full of hope for spring and much more color in my images . . .

I shot this RAW and then processed using levels, curves, and saturation.

So soft and beautiful

Very blurry and messy on first glance but upon further inspection the harmony surfaces and with it a sense of life. As a result you get my YankO Yellow Ribbon!

I love the sepia tones here. The background is excellent.

Otherwise fine photography - but lacking that chaotic, unintended consequence that would make something here appear messy, and less compositional, a touch of disorder - something unordinary that catches color or light in unique, interesting ways. I'm not gonna ding for having an in focus element, but my criteria is that at least the subject should be blurred. Only the background is, here.

I have found a few creative entries, but I can't qualify this as a creative use of this particularly challenging theme.

Beautiful shot that has winds of chaos - the color is lovely. The photo doesn't exemplify the challenge but I'd say it fits ok.

One of the best blur photos I have seen.

the image is nice, background is blurred and chaotic so meets challenge IMHO (though I'm sure you've got loads saying it doesn't), I am more focused on the twig rather than the feather, not sure if that's what you intended ... does lack a little colour IMHO though

Had the object in the foreground been out of the scene this would have been perfect for this challenge. with it however I feel it does not meet the challenge as the entire scene is not blurry. Sorry.

This is one of the best actual photos if it was in a different challenge, but I think if you had left out the in focus branch you would have made it a lot more appropriate for this challenge. The mess in the background is cool, but the foreground branch distracts a lot from the actual blur.

A solid entry, I feel you may get downgraded by the fact that the foreground subject is in crisp focus... I'm scoring it pretty high relative to the challenge.
