    I like #1 as well.
    It reminds me of an ad for stereos from years ago with a man in a chair being blown over.

    that's a great concept and execution.

    im surprised after all that effort you used a background that has advertisements in it - would have been perfect on a better sidewalk area.


    it looks to me like fishing line was used to tie the coat to the broken umbrella to make the coat look windy. pretty smooth.

    It was really more of a lucky break. The scene was not under my control.

    What great stree captures! Would you have taken them if "turbulence" had not been the current challenge subject? If not, they are a good example of the benefits of the challenge even for those who do not win. thumb.gif If yes, fabulous on any terms. clap.gif

    P.S. I like them both, but #1 for the challenge seems the better coice.

    One, 1, #1 for sure
    I think that number one shows more of the effect, the side shot has more impact then the front view has IMHO. That cant be real hair can it??? At least not real on him.
