Wonderful image as far as seascape/landscapes go. Evidence of wind is thin. I'm thinking the connection is the waves coming ashore? It works in a minimalistic approach I guess. Again, a very nice photograph you've captured here. Good luck in the challenge.
I really like the photo, but the sea in the foreground does not show me 'wind'. I know you are going for wind in the high clouds, but I don't feel it when I see the image.
I do quite like the image, though a bit more water/beach would have balanced it out a little. It is also really noisy - Was this intentional, as you should have been able to capture it without all that noise?
