Thank you everyone for the votes and comments.
The trees seem to be either loved or hated, i picked this shot for the trees. I guess the world and this site would be very boring if we all liked the same thing :-)

i totally love this shot! at first i thought the blurry stuff were birds or swarms of bats, which gives this image a rather "notre dame" feeling. very nice, please keep shooting OOTB, shots like these bring live and spirit to the challenges. :)
This is a striking image. I was getting tired of upward perspectives on buildings but this really caught my eye. I'm assuming a reasonably long exposure with some movement in the foreground tree. Love it.
