Great effect Jim. The stars and deep blue sky really make this shot for me.

This is really interesting. I don't believe I've ever seen this take on palm trees. I like it a lot!

Is this a night sky? It's really neat stuff!

Nice image. With everything so blurred, I'm supprised the trunks are so sharp. Was the blurring just from the wind?

Dan... This is a straight shot. The blurring is 100% from the wind.

I really like this perspective and exposure Jim. The trunks lead you towards the blowing tree-tops and streaked clouds nicely. Good to see you posting over here.

A very unique way to catch the wind, Jim.

This is absolutely, totally cool! I've never seen anything like it, and to me, in nature photography, that's an accomplishment. Love the perspective, the blur of everything against the starry sky, but enough sharp. Looks like a painting. Great job!

I like how the image conveys movement of the trees and clouds, but shows the relatively lesser movement (of course) of the stars. It works well in this composition. And, not to forget that perfect placement of the moon behind the central tree. That was very smart. Great work! I like it a lot.
