I think it's great mate. Maybe if the central bowed trees were the only subject and the lower left trees were missing it would just be that much neater. But a real good vibe, splendid in B+W.

Jason, You certainly caught the feel of the wind. I usually don't like that much softness in a picture, but this one is right on. But you're going to wear out those palms. I hope you're paying them time and a half by now.

I saw the icon and tought "wow". Beautiful composition. Also I like that only the palm leaves move, the trees are sharp. This is a case where I would do some serious photoshopping to get the two crooked stems to flow in a nicer, more expected way. This image warrant it in my eyes. They distract me, I concentrate on the flaw.

Thank you all.  It was a 2-minute exposure, so I was rather surprised that the trunks didn't sway.  If I recall correctly, it was rather windy too.

@Russ:  As long as they don't bonk me in the head with a coconut, I think I'm good to go!  They haven't complained yet...
