A very effective presentation of the wrath and power Mother Nature can dish out. The contrast of the damage caused by what was probably a powerful storm against the clear blue sky of a lovely day adds impact to the picture.
Hmmm. Ok. There WAS some wind here at one point maybe. I think some action or motion to indicate wind at the time of capturing the photo is going to go a little farther in scoring higher with viewers/voters in this challenge. JMO of course. Good luck.
