This is an interesting image, Miro. I like the colors and the perspective resulting from the WA lens, particularly the exaggerated size of the blossoms sweeping into the LLC. The sky color looks a bit funky (from use of a polarizer?), especially in the URC, but I like it as well. There are a couple dust spots in the sky.

Like the perspective very much, Miro - it puts the viewer right in among the branches of the tree ! I feel the image is perhaps a little soft, otherwise very appealing.

Miro - Other than the unevenly lit sky I like everything else here. Branches literally coming at me is something I find interesting.

Hi Guys, sometimes I've a problem with your comments. First I will say that I'm not promoter of stated nature photos. If the sky is unevenly lit I cannot help, it is as my camera saw it (shall I use flash?? polarizer was managed the work). I've also problem to see any dust spots; I've carefully checked the original (10MB) photo, did not find any. But anyhow many thank for your time and comments.

Nice lines in the tree, Miro. I do wish the far right flowers didn't intersect the horizon.
