In a fir plantation, interesting place for that effect, very dark, many trunks and contrasting light outside.
No postprocessing at all, except rotate and crop slightly.

Post challenge:
Thanks to all for your comments, for the 5 fav's and 1 wish list. I'm particularly flattered to be compared with ursula, someone I deeply admire.
I couldn't hope a better score with an abstract image in a tree challenge - a lot of 9 and 10's, but also much 1 and 2's...
For Yo_Spiff: absolutely not processed, this could enter a basic or even minimal editing challenge. Motion blur indeed, a fast camera's rotation @1/15 sec., trying to rotate it vertically only.
1/15 sec provides better results than 1/8 sec, a long focal length seems better too.
This is finally captured in a very dark wood, what provides that kind of 3D effect.

I'm not surprised to see this where it is. I am surprised to learn there was little PP involved. It sure looks like it was heavily processed. Motion blur, I suppose? Still very cool looking.
Now THIS is a very cool abstract. Looks just enough like the trees to meet the challenge. I'll be curious to find out whose entry this is. 10 and a fave.
