A nice capture for a forever memory of your neighbors tree. A lovely presentation adds much to the scene.

I am happy you got a broader shot of the tree showing its true appearance.

Nice work, good luck in the contest.

oh very nice, I'm glad I opened this one as its a nice surprise to see something so well done and thoughtful. Love the composition and the story telling ability of this image. Your street looks really beautiful. Nicest street image I've seen yet. Great job and good luck!

This is lovely, I love how you can see the house through the branches , the shapes all work beautifully together. Such a quaint little image and the framing and fading is the icing on the cake, looks like a great little postcard.

Great photo. Love the vignette around the photo,kinda sets it off. Also, gives the photo a whimsical (spelled right?) look to it. Like the detail and the composition. Again a very wonderful piece of work. Keep it up.

This is wonderful the way you have done it. I really like the vignette and the way you framed it. The way you took the close up of the house and left the tree in this is great. An excellent picture. Good luck in the contest.

I am not a fan of large scale vignetting, but it does seem to work for this photo. However, I am picky with the grammar. Should read as "Spring on my street." Nice job though, and pleasing to look at.

This is so sweet. I would lessen the vignette but don't get rid of it. It's so pretty on this shot and adds to it just it seems too much. The tree is so beautiful! :)

Neat photo of a pretty tree, I love the pretty blooms on the trees in the spring also. Neat choice for the contest and a nice note. Good color and neat frame also.
