Hi, Critique Club here.

Welcome to the middle of the road, zero comment club. ;)

I like all the colors in the image, you did a good job of processing multiple images without losing anything.

When I first looked at the image, I thought is was crooked, but then I saw the lens you used and figure it's just distortion. I think that since it's allowed in advanced editing, you should have straightened it out so all the verticals are vertical. The other thing is that the trees give an illusion of softness in the image, but it's probably just the wind moving them slightly during your exposures.

I think if those two points were corrected, this would have scored better.
