First Impressions
Difficult Challenge, nice abstract but the sun/light top left dominates a little too much.

Photograph Information, Technicals & Composition Review
You mention the unwanted curved effect, I quite like that (if you're talking about the 'waves'). For me, as mentioned above, the overexposed sky is a fraction too dominant and takes my attention away from the nice flows and colors. Perhaps cropping it out, but as always, your call.

Comments, Score & Placement Review
12th place is very good. Score of 6.04 doesn't seem to match that, but a difficult Challenge with not many entries.

Average of 7.0 from your commenters - all of which seemed to really like the beauty in it. You received one comment with a suggestion about cropping out the top part, so I am not the only one to see/think that.

Summary
The overall visual balance of the movement/lines/color perhaps is a little thrown out by the tree on the left, so I wonder about a variation in cropping/composition - but your call. My favorite part of the image is the two trees/trunks in the center and the colors and movement surrounding them.

Interesting image! Love the tones and blur! Have you tried cropping it, without the top highlighted section? It could be such a painting. Although it still kicks! 8

good colors and exposure. I'm glad you chose to motion the camera along the lines of the trees.
