Challenge: Trees III (Advanced Editing VII)
Collection: Challenges 2011
Camera: Canon EOS-7D
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4.0L IS
Location: In front of my house
Date: Nov 30, 2011
Aperture: f/5.0
ISO: 2000
Shutter: 1.6 sec
Date Uploaded: Dec 1, 2011

 Had an odd evening of VERY strong winds, whipping about these large elegant trees on my street. Stood outside and shot this handheld at something like ISO 2000. I like the movement - graceful, in a way, isn't it?

I had some other options which might have scored better than this, but still not good enough to beat my average or anything, so in this one goes!

YAY!! Did way better than expected!! Thank you all most kindly!

A spasm of the soul! What was that about no bling....???? Phenomenal image, Deb. Would never have thought to go out in those winds with my camera. I only put it under water.

Good grief! It's lovely! And look at that beautiful face with the wind-whipped hair in the upper right quadrant, too. Congratulations, and thank you.

And all this time I thought when the soul left the body it took on the appearance of the flesh and not the skeletal.

Reading your photog notes makes me laugh. This was far and away the better entry and I am not surprised to see it do much better than you expected. And, on top of that you got the PH Blue! Ha.
