Hi David! This is a lilac I believe and if you have a chance to capture it again, get a whiff of it. It's one of the most wonderful smells!

Beautiful color palette David. Great separation as well. I might sharpen this and/or increase the contrast a little. I like the diagonal in the composition. Good looking image.

David: I like both versions but might give a slight edge to the repost. Well done.>=))>

Lovely image, David ! I like the fact that you've caught this with flowers open and many buds too for extra colour. Might just have liked to see a touch more of the leaves ( or none at all ? ) but this is nice as is.

Nice shot of a lovely subject David. I have one of these beauties right next to my front door, and I love to open the door in the spring and let the aroma into my house.
I like the diagonal comp and the nice OOF background. I kind of agree with Ian's suggesting of a little more of the leaves to anchor this, or none at all.

Nice shot with great colours- I agree with others about leaving some more leaves in the composition- :biggrin: Fabio

Repost...This is what I had to work with, I thought some of what was out of focus would take away from it?
