Frankly Dwayne,
I liked it but was flummoxed as to what to say to you. I thought to leave it for others to comment and not mess the stage, so to speak, for a new set of responses.
Now a reply at long lost!
So now Dwayne, I should add my own $0.02
Immediately I enjoyed the choice of subject and the gentle rendition of the trees in the right side of the composition. That's agreeable! The turmoil on the left side is obvious, for sure but not perhaps shown in the right view. This is, so to speak, "An act of God", so let's get a more comprehensive view. We could then see a wider setting and the path of the storm perhaps and more debris.
Alone, the wood on the left, seems like a giant downed crucifixe and that would again have more value in a wider picture. Once again, IMHO, the aphorism to "frame close and crop closer" is fine for insect pictures, a crime scene or a great portrait, but here the milieux is then lost and with it context, meaning and power.
Still, as I leave the image again, I must say I like those gently rendered trees on the right!
