Bend - Don't Break (foggy forest image)
I shot this image early in the morning last weekend trying to catch some fog in a coastal forest. This section of the hike seemed to be recovering from a fire in recent years (can’t find info on when though) causing the bases of the tree trunks to be charred and black in areas.
I noticed this spot and composition where the trees were leaning heavily to the right. The consistent motion contrasting against other vertical trunks caught my eye. I shot this pointing up the hill trying to convey the somber mood of the recovering forest in fog with trees that are stressed by unnatural angles.

did you happen to take one in portrait orientation? its a nice shot i love moody/spooky photos they have more drama and story to them.
Agree with Joseph, portrait orientation might have worked better.
I did not take one in portrait because when I tried composing one it didn't seem to work to my eye. I wish I would have tried it anyways though!
haha ...try and get used to doing a series of 4 if you have the time 1 high 2 low 3 portrait 4 landscape that way you won't have a coulda woulda shoulda moment
