Hey, you're right! and a good perspective, too. I wish the lines of the stump were a bit more contrasted. You hardly have any power over that, but perhaps there was another stump nearby or a bit closer perspective? Still, very nice!
IMHO a very creative interpretation of the weather challenge and a well done shot with an interesting texture too. Only the little rest of the tree in the upper right corner is IMHO disturbing a little bit. But that's only marginal. Good luck for the challenge!
