I think this is a very nicely composed shot in wonderful soft light. The exposure for the white blossoms is perfect and the background colors are outstanding.

Someone else who appreciates the Apple Blossom.

Camera technique is awesome for this take. Exquisite detail across the entire branch of blossoms.

This is a perfect example of classic compositional framing. The branch of flowers gracefully cross the diagonal, which in turn generates terrific eye appeal for the viewer.

Color range and saturation of the foreground is right on sharp and crisp - like a fresh apple. The DOF provides a soft bokeh for the background which is very soothing.

I like this take it's a goody ... B-)) Bob

Quite a nice nature shot posted here! I personally cannot claim to be familiar with this plant. Your image though is well exposed, sharp and well composed. Well done.

It's just an apple tree that produces Red Cherry like Apples that make great Crab Apple Jelly.

A refreshing capture with healthy white blooms & pinkish buds.
Verdant overtone lends a visually soothing backdrop.

Dynamic diagonal framing.
Excellent color saturation.
The techno snobs would surely comment on that pink bud on the frame's edge.
Thanks for sharing...

Dickson,
Thanks a million for your complementary review on these Crab Apple Blossoms.
For the perfectionists I'd tell them that this is what Nature is perfect, NOT taken in a studio nor intended for an Art gallery.

Yes, you're right Susan and some of them are the ones who muted me because they hate my reviewing style...but the sites suggested that for me to be a recognized reviewer, I shouid point out flaws--which I hate doing! I was only comforted when Olga commented my overblown wall on those street kids sleeping on the sidewalk. She said, if your iPad saw it that way, why can't we?!?
Corrrrect!
And here's one ciao reviewer who easily deduct a half star from my silhouette shots when in fact I always give him 5*ratings despite his flaws!

a very nice close up of these crab apple blossoms: they look identical to the apple blossoms in my garden;
very nice soft ligfhting thanks to the absence of sunlight; sharp focus and excellent exposure for the white petals;
