wow. can't figure out what those black clumps are in the bottom right (dark clouds? not sure), or why it's sort of blurred at the left - but that doesn't bother me too much - excellent image.
Great shot, but the wind isn't too clear... if there were a snowy cap being blown off one of the mountains, I think it would meet the challenge much better.
I like the perspective of the shot and the fact that it seems so vast. It has good color and sharpness. It's unusual enough to be interesting and hold attention. If I was going to nitpick anything it would be the slightly brown cloud on the left being a slight distraction, possibly because it stands out as different from the rest of the clouds. I'm also not sure I would instantly think wind just by looking at this image but I'm not saying that it doesnt represent it in some way.
