I don't know what effect you have been using lately, but it sure does the trick for this one. Beautiful green tones and I love that wind blown look in the willow. Grea job and keep posting. Loving what I see.
This really has nice shapes and coloring Ami. There is still enough bare limbs to make it a great shot. I believe the wind turned it into something special. Great post.
Did you use a little HDR in this? I really like the effect, whatever you did. I like the way the willow is blurred some, which really give you a feeling of the wind. Very nice job with this one, Ami.
