Love the light airy feel of this shot! The blossoms look so delicate. I absolutely love the shade of pink. I know I'd be just like this crowd and want to see this beautiful scene too! I really like the distance from the trees. I think it captures the graceful branches and blooms! Good Luck in The Contest! :o) Helvi

I can only imagine how beautiful it must be to actually see these trees in bloom. Washington, D.C. has its cherry blossom season, but it cannot compete with this. The varying shades of pink captured in this shot, along with the strollers, is almost impressionistic in its effect.

Well, you can't blame them as these trees are really beautiful! Like your fine composition which lets us have a great view of that lovely scene. Sharpness and exposure are good. Well taken!

Lots of spring in this picture of the wildly flowering trees. Somehow the colors seem to be off. Shouldn't the lawn be green and not kaki? The blank white sky distracts from the white of the blossoms. The picture lacks some balance.

thanks again;
not much rain and too many people walking on the lawn;
my colors are always natural;
cloudy misty day..... no blue sky;

Comment from El-mundo
A great, broad shot of the trees at a nice distance and giving good proportion with the onlookers enjoying the bloom. Great lighting and DOF, clarity is good as is framing - nice picture.

A beautiful picture of the flowering Cherry trees in shades of white, pale & deep pink & people out in the park to enjoy the sight. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

A very nice shot. The overcast sky gives you great colors and beautiful shadowless details. It is good to see that this spectacular scene is so popular.
