Shot with a long exposure, it was stinging cold and actually not windy at all.
But this shot looks cold and windy, so that's why I chose it. No editing done.

I think the comments here reflect pretty well why they may have chosen to vote down your image. It has much less to do with anything related to the quality of the image than it does with its perceived relation to the challenge. While it's true that this scene could be interpreted as windy (since there's not much a whole lot to prove otherwise), the main reason people did not like it is because you need to provide a way for them to interpret it as windy (moving plants, leaves, anything that shows motion).
Other than its relation to the challenge, it is a technically okay image - perhaps the bit of flare at the top is slightly distracting, but not on the whole.
We must remember that an image at DPC can do well if it relates very well to the challenge as long as it has no technical shortfallings - and that a technically excellent image that does not make people believe it fits the challenge can also do poorly. Good luck in the future!
I must admit that I cant "see" wind in the photo anywhere. The branches arent blurred like they're being blown about and neither is anything else. It may have been windy on the night, but I cant see it here.
I'm sorry but I don't see the wind in this picture. Perhaps that the wind has blown the leaves off of the tree? Maybe so, but can't they simplay fall off as well?
Where is the wind? I would expect to see some trees moving or something to give the impression of wind. I get the feeling of Winter and cold from this shot, but not wind.
