Description I adore blossoms. Cherry Blossoms, Plum Blossoms, Peach Blossoms, Weeping Cherry.... all so very very pretty.

It's my favourite part of Spring - the blossoms

This is a photograph of our Cherry tree in the backyard. Damn, I love that tree.

Used the digital cross-process technique again. All apologies to my usual watchers who might just cringe at the sight of this!

I would rather go for the shallow comment because this photograph of yours is really personal and yet quite professional.

Oh! This is just wonderful! It reminds me a lot of one of Van gogh's pieces - his "Blossoming Almond Tree" - only his was an painting, not a photograph, but still, extremely lovely!

Lovely piece of work!!
What I find really interesting is that my first impression when looking at this image is a sense of death.

I'm really drawn to the high contrast, the turquoise background, the black tones at the four corners of this picture, and the fact that a large portion of this image is blurry. All together these elements create a mysterious sense of beauty and convey a dream-like quality that seems to associate with the unknown and the things that are yet to come.
I think the blurry areas make the image look like it's captured in motion, and this portrays a feeling of brevity and uncertainty.

Overall, it looks really unique and stunning!! I absolutely love it~~

I love this picture! I like how the blue from the sky compliments the pink from th flowers, and the black from the branches really brings focus to the sky and flowers. Very cool!

I'm jealous that you have a cherry blossom, I really want one. I think they are the most beautiful flowering trees in existance.

A mixture of curves work, contrast, saturation, and burning

Very nice, this creates a truly fresh atmosphere I really like the colors but I also feel the dark blue at the top of the photo may be a tad too much.
