John, I really like this. I especially like the light down low and gradually getting darker as you move up. You're the one to beat this week!

Hello Steve, the model with the spiral and upward wind deserve all the credit for the picture’s dynamism. Thank you

That’s an excellent analogy Chad, I originally envisioned the picture with the model posing on a sand dune to let the flying sand graphically show the wind fury and movement; but unfortunately I’m too far from the ocean now, so I had to improvise…

Hello Louis, we started the shoot right before sunset and it was getting dark quickly, but there was still too much light. I shot it with a polarizer filter at f/32, 1/50 to try to capture the motion effect from the wind on Whitney’s outfit.
