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. :)

Lovely, but the movement of the leaves detracts...sorry.

I like the church itself, but find the motion of the tree leaves distracting.

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.

Would be better if the blurred trees would not touch the tower...

NICE B&W-COOL PERSPECTIVE AND MOVEMENT OF TREES--CAPTIVATING FOR SURE. GREAT DETAIL AND OVERALL QUALITY

I find the movement of the leaves distracting, but I like the lighting on the building.

Very imposing. Like something you'd see in a horror film.

I find the blurred leaves (in motion from the long shutter speed I am guessing) distracting.
