A very nice shot that lends itself well to this "crystal ball" effect. The detail in the blossoms is outstanding and colors are excellent.

A beautiful presentation of white flowers. I always find it difficult to capture a white object. But you do it well here. The focus is great. Details of the white flowers are enjoyable.

Well done and thanks for sharing.

Comment from Life is but a dream.
I like that you did not distort the flowers and have kept them as they appear in nature. Your exposure is also very nice with no blow outs at all.

I also find that "stretched" feeling , almost like a clear wrap that we put on our leftoevers, found at the top of the globe visually exciting.

Nice frame of forget-me-not blue and voila....we can breathe spring with this presentation.

Susan, there are a bunch of contests up....Spring has Sprung is one that I put up....you ought to consider entering for fun...this is a winner in my eyes.

Thanks a million for your great review & kind words. I'll look out for your entry I've entered it with another photo BUT I fear it will get only ONE vote if I'm lucky. It's got less than five reviews so far. I need to do 30 plus reviews a day to earn enough to prompot things to page one & at present I don't have the time.

Fred,
Merci beaucoup mille fois for a great review.
The Tree is little more than a Sapling so it has few Cherries & it's a battle between the Birds & Human's as to who gets them first.
