I immediately thought, 'what are the conditions of this area that made these trees grow this way? Cool compositon and use of DOF. I WOULD like to see both of the trees in entirety though. Maybe back up 5 or 10 feet?

That is a very neat tree. I like the shape and textures on it. Might I suggest a different framing/cropping of the image to either include the rear tree as a full element in the picture or eliminate it entirely to draw focus to the front tree? As it is now, my attention is torn between the two elements like I am looking at two different pictures.
I like... maybe a little more contrast to eliminate the fioggy appearance on the second tree...or the reverse to make the tree in the foreground more pronounced
I really like this photograph. Like the color, like the softer focus. Great title. I think these trees grow this way wind blown for decades. I just don't see wind blowing at the time this photograph taken. Otherwise, great photograph!
Great choice for the difficult challenge - you were lucky to find those trees! Now, the weather wasn't great, I could see, and that spoils the photo a bit for me. 8.
This image has so much potential - but there are a few issues - firstly its slightly overexposed at the top - I find this really distracting. Secondly - you should have made it larger - its hard to see the details and properly evaluate. I would definately go back and reshoot here if I were you, it's a terrific scene.
