This is interesting Amy! I have seen a lot of cool forest shots where the photographer will pan up or down with a long shutter speed to create somewhat of a similar effect, but I like what you did here as it retains details in the leaves.
There is an issue with Uploading Photos (attachjments). I am not sure what the problem is, and I am looking into it. You can still try to Create your Threads and Upload your Photos, but it is hanging up during the Upload.
