Because the wind wanted to blow I thought I would try something else besides the sharp as a tack flower shot.

This is really well done Todd, I bet a flash would stop all that wind dancing.

Excellent comp and light. I really like the gesture in this with the flowers "dancing."

Todd, I love this group of yellow dressed persons walking down the hill, with their cloths in the wind. There is a great movement and depth. Just a detail: may be the 'head' touching the frame in the bottom could be erase. What do you think about?
Take care.

glad you decided to work with the wind. the movement brings an additional element to the subject, really adds interest and increases the appeal (for me). Excellent composition
