I really love the pureness of this blossom.
Thanks for adding a whole list of uses and properties, it really adds to the knowledge behind the subject and thus the photograph, giving welcomed insight.

The lighting on the left side of the main blossom is beautiful and enlightening. I think we've found your focal point! The light illuminating off of those petals, really draws the viewers eye to the centre of that blossom and all it's little stigma.

Due to the landscape orientation of the photograph, you've chopped a flower in half at the bottom. I'm not sure if it adds or detracts from the image. All that i could suggest for improvement, would be to try a portrait orientation, where you might capture that blossom and not leave us guessing. I only ask that you take this mild suggestion in consideration for the next photograph you take. After all, it's just my personal opinion :)

I love the soft natural greens in this image. There's a wonderful, fresh feel to it. Keep shooting that camera! lovely work

Thank you very much, I appreciate your throughout and kind review, and your Input very much. There is just one problem. How ever I frame. in order to get a close up of one of those small delicate blossoms, I have to cut others. The other option is to photograph a cluster of blossoms from away; but there I loose the detail of the single blossom. So I did both. I will post other photos of the tree in time.
