Sometimes I am unsure about a shot but am unsure why I'm unsure lol This is one of those!
I've let it sit around for a bit and I still like it so thought I'd post it for your thoughts! Thanks for taking a look

Cool! I think you could call it "Windstorm".

This is one my favorites. A nice paint brush sweep.

I agree with Mike, this one does have the paint brush feel to it. It reminds me of a scene painted on glass that my parents had. My only thought would be perhaps making it a square crop, cropping it about an inch below the last bit of white on the right. Could just be me though because square crops are my style.

Thanks you two

Oops! We posted at the same time Carol! Thanks so much for your thoughts, I will ponder a crop!

I like this one, but I agree it would look better with the bottom cropped out a bit. It's a bit dark and boring down there but above it's much more interesting with some sky and where the tree is more defined

I would prefer it uncropped. I think that the small still tree in the lower foreground adds contrast to the Windblown foliage above.

I LOVE this and prefer it the way it is. No crop for me.

I'll swim against the tide and suggest a 5% crop from the top. Better balance for my eye. Very nice shot, Judi.

I like it. Not sure about the cropping that others have mentioned though.

 

[bribrius]

agree with the paint brush sweep comments. Me likes.

Thanks so much all! I will carry forward all of the crop suggestions, I think it's one of those images that can be cropped various ways and be strong I'm still learning crop ratios for printing so I would imagine when this one ends up on the printing list I'll revisit various options!
