Gary, I would say this fits the challenge beautifully. The force of the wind can almost be felt. I like the strong diagonal lines that start with the trees and almost blow off the top of the mountain only to return to the trees. The upper right corner is very bright and dominates the picture. I tried darkening it just a little bit to see if it would help direct the eye back into the picture. Here is a screenshot of what I did in Photoshop and


the photo. This is minor and personal and may not fit your image of the experience. Thanks, Gary, for sharing the moment and the picture. When I look at the picture that was uploaded, it is hard to see that I did anything. In PS the affect could be seen.
