Lovely photo of the cluster of flowers. I like how you captured the different shades on one plant. The dark green background enhances the flowers.

    Thanks a million for your complementary review.
    The Pink flowers are buds they turn white as they open & mature.

Simply lovely Susan! I really like your diagonal placement, fine focus, controlled exposure, great colors and fab details on the buds and blooms.
Nicely done :)

    Sange,
    thanks a million for your complementary review. This was the best of about six shots in my attempt to get the exposure right.

Beautifully composed photo. Very crisp details excellent depth of field. It would be nice to showcase those bees working and pollenating your crab apple trees. Thank you for sharing this photo.

    If & when I see bees in the garden I attempt to capture them....not always an easy task with the dog at my heels.

As the wife of a bee keeper, I have learned to stop and admire blooms like these. This would make a perfect painting and if you don't mind I would like to try to paint it. Such a wonderful mix of color and shade. Well done.

It is nothing more beautiful in spring than an apple tree in full blossom, but it is when you get as close as this you can really appreciate the beauty of each individual flower. I like so much that both flowers in blooms and the more pink buds are included, and I also like how the branch is coming in from the upper right corner giving it a diagonal position. Your background is also nicely softened for the blooms to stand out in an excellent way.

Your photo is also nice and sharp and it is such clear and well defined details both in the petals and the stamens. I also think the exposure is perfect.

The minor cropping has worked well, and the cluster of flowers is so well placed within the frame. Indeed a lovely and well taken photo Susan, and with a very good DOF.

What a wonderful image. Your lighting and colors are just perfection. The white... outstanding with fabulous detail. Great placement in the frame with the background perfection in supporting your bloom. Wonderful capture all the way! Thanks for sharing.

You captured the color very well and the lighting is flattering. I like how much the texture of the petals and leaves show. There is nice depth in the image and the framing is attractive.

Ah, spring! A lovely representation of the rebirth of the earth. Beautifully sharp against a dark softened background. Shown to its best advantage. Very nice work.
