That is a well executed shot, in my opinion. Joe chose a shutter speed that was slow enough to capture the movement of the subject's hair in the wind. He also used a flash camera right which exposed the subjects face so that (for the most part) it looks quite sharp (even though there is some ghosting on his right side.


I used a similar technique about a month and a half ago when shooting this shot:






While the movement isn't caused by the wind, but rather by me zooming during the relatively long shutter speed (1/25 sec). I also used a flash camera right, as well as centering his face in the frame in order to maintain sharpness on his face. This was the first time I had tried something like this--and it's not something I will do often, but it was a fun experiment and I like the shot that came out of it.
