Beautifull Ian, even looks great on the cheapo work monitor. The upper bg is a little distracting tho. If it were removed this one would be unimprovable......ummm that may not be a word.

Love the series on cherry blossoms and this is a beauty. Love the soft bg and comp. Beautiful colors. Top notch.

Pastels and soft b/g gives this a gentle soft mood. I think the downward direction of the bloom is pulling the viewer down ...but there is nothing to see...minor ...very minor nit. Nice color blends w/b/g.

Ian:
Lovely work. The square frame is just right and I also like the DOF and the soft OOF curtain at the top. The bg cherry blossom gives this just the right hue for the two blossoms. A very fine composition.

Ian, Beautifully composed and dreamy soft pink. For me, the OOF blossoms at the top (or in the corner in your previous post) create a dialogue between the two branches and make the composition more dynamic.

Really nice Ian. An effective comp with some nice isolation. Well done.

I am jealous of the cherry blossoms!! These are lovely! I would like slightly more room on the left side, but the square crop is great also. Beautifully done!
