Canon 5D Mark II. f/7.1, 1/25, Nik Silver Efex. These Deodar cedars are about 70 feet tall and the wind must've been almost 60 mph because it was hard to stand up in it.

I love this, my only wish is that you could fade the vignette from the lrc and make it all the more dramatic.

Very nice presentation, Lucy. The simple forms have and added emotional sense when presented this way.

Really cool Lucy. You captured the feel of this windstorm very nicely. Perhaps a little strong on the vignette, but I like it a lot.

You've created a fine sense of an antique photo with the creamy b&w look and the vignette. The wind blown trees look good with this treatment.

Marvelous motion - I can see then swaying! Not sure about the vignette, but beautiful nonetheless!!

I like how the vignetting adds to the sense of wind and blown dust in this picture. The composition seems a bit bottom heavy to me.

This is a very artistic image. I can see it hanging on the wall of a gallery some place. Very well done.

Thanks so much for the feedback. These trees stand in the pasture in back of my house and the wind was so fierce and freaky it shook the whole house and actually shattered one of our double-pane windows.
The vignette was an afterthought to try to enhance a wonky area of sky to the left of the trees that I just couldn't fix. Really appreciate the comments.
