Tree flowering

I didn't have a picture for the theme Nature Up Close. I liked the look on the blossoms after the rain today, so I tried a close-up.

Outside of the frame the photo is sooc

[Lauren]

This is such a beautiful sooc shot. i really like the pretty, soft bokeh and the way it makes the leaves look like they're glistenning

[scooter]

So pretty!

[Bob Hettinger]

Harry, this is WONDERFUL! I really love how rain makes the colors so saturated!

[Harry J Benson]

@laurentye Thank you Lauren, the rain gives a nice shimmer
@scooter Thank you Scooter, I find after a rain objects look prettier
@rbobh69 Thank you Bob, the rain really helps

[Oleta Clouse]

The DoF is really great with this shot and gives the flowers such a soft, dreamy feel.. Very nice..

[Harry J Benson]

@buggus Thank you Oleta, the overcast skies help keep the softness.

[Paul Myers]

From the thumbnails, I thought these might be some kind of strange insect at first. Very pretty.

[Angie Vega ☮♥ シ]

love the dof...love the simplicity of the shot

[Harry J Benson]

@webfoot Thank you Paul, they do look pretty in the yard

[Harry J Benson]

@angievega Thank you Angie, the close-ups I have liked most on 365 lend themselves to simplicity; which I tried to emulate

[Paula]

Pretty sooc! Very simple and beautiful.

[Harry J Benson]

@pwallis Thank you Paula, as they tell me Keep It Simple Stupid which is pretty sound advice

[wendy chapman]

Simple is almost always best . Nice colors. Spring is definitely upon us.

[Harry J Benson]

@wac Thank you Wendy, we are well into Spring here.

[jerry plume]

Nice shot, Harry!

[Jen Dee]

Excellent shot Harry. I really like the way this looks with the rain! Lovely.

[Harry J Benson]

@orangecrush Thank you Jerry, 365 has taught me how to use my camera better
@jendee3 Thank you Jen, the raindrops made it more interesting to me

[Peggy Scroggins]

Beautiful shot. I love the way the two colors play off of each other.

[LisLee]

Great bokeh with the water drops in the picture.

[Harry J Benson]

@miata2u Thank you Peggy, the different colours on the same tree is what brought me over to it.
@lislee75 Thank you Lisa, I had seen others with water drops and decided to try and capture it after the rain on the 4th

[Kelly Jo]

Beautiful focus. I really like the contrast of the yellow against the green the water droplets are also very nice

[Harry J Benson]

@kellyjo26 Thank you Kelly, I liked the way the droplets were, which is why I chose this photo
