My girlfriend stated "Look at what the wind did!" and with that, I had a photo. These trees were blown down (split in half) by one of the many hurricanes us Floridians experienced this season.

Only edit was cropping

from the critique club:

This is a very interesting capture. While the panoramic accents the condtition of the trees, this is an image that could have used the overhead that is missing. It is always a problem when you enter a challenge. You want to exhibit as much real estate as possible. Even a 5x7 format would have served you better. The effect you aimed for is nice but showing more sky would have been even better.

Now, to improve future shots allow me to make a suggestion. You used an f 2.8 or f3 with a 463sec exposure. You can hand hold a shot like this with 1/100. So if you have 463 it equals 231 half this again and you have 115. That means this shot could have been taken at 100 and an f stop of at least 5.6. This would have neted you a deeper dof. I get greedy, so I would place the shitter speed at 1/60..hold ever so steady and shoot it at f8. And if I have tripod then it is f16 at 1/15.

Too small to see it well. I guess the max width on the site doesn't lend itself well to this kind of crop...

I think a vertical photo would have worked better for me.
