I like the foreboding tones. Good composition, though I think it's a shame that you've cut of the end of the lamp, which would echo the shape of th tree nicely.

Great duo tone, I really feel like it's time to hunker down for the incoming storm!

Great portrayal of wind. The colors seem a bit flat though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/02/2006 03:56:54 PM
Perfect for this challenge and a darn fine picture to boot. Love the sweep and arch of the tree, the solitary bench, and the pier in the distance. Exceptional clarity for a presentation of this size. Great mood of a storm created/enhanced by the toning.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/02/2006 12:18:04 PM
Wow - it sure looks lika a lot strong wind !
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/02/2006 09:45:11 AM
Very dark and gloomy...that is what made this effective for me. Good job.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

That tree has seen it's fair share of winds it appears. :D By picking a rainy day you've done a nice job of creating the illusion that the tree is actually blowing over. Clever. This photo seems a little flat to me, like it could use some tweaking with levels and a touch more contrast. Could be just the overcast conditions or the color tones... Anyway, good luck in the challenge.

I like the tint very much and the small pier peeking out from behind the tree is a nice touch. The wind-swept tree really says it all. 9.

Beautiful movement and impeccable composition...one of the best in challenge...I like the tones you picked for this image, also.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Cool subject and overall the composition is interesting. Looks underexposed though, even for a stormy day.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Well, I see the *aftermath* of a big wind, can't see the wind in this picture.

Very windy - but I'm not crazy about the tint...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 10/30/2006 04:37:06 AM
oh yes!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 10/30/2006 02:44:17 AM
brighton, bournemouth, is it even in the UK?

This is a great shot, with really good comp. I personally feel it's let down by poor colour, which may well have been beyond your control.

Good luck.
