Beautifully composed, Albert. I like the way the blossoms are framed by the leaves, with an overall diagonal flow. I likw the chosen dof which makes the blossoms and leaves stand out from the nice bg. There are several dark spots in the ULC that you can easily remove.

Well done on the composition, Albert! Isolating this pretty cluster of blooms against the green and framed by its own leaves presents a very pleasing vision of Spring.

Albert: I like the comp and subject a lot as well as the color palette. Not sure about the DOF/plane of focus since some of the center parts of the blossoms look a little soft to me. >=))>

Albert - Love the yellows against the superb pinks here. I also like the angular composition.

Nice composition, Albert. Excellent exposure. Even a bit more dof might have been nice, but it looks like you were in very low light.

I think you pretty much nailed it, Albert. Glad it held still for you. It looks like you made a lot of intelligent decisions, in not so favorable light. Good work.
