Early Cherry  Blossoms by stray_shooter

Early Cherry Blossoms

My photo class went to the local botanical gardens. The unusually warm weather seems to have caused the cherry blossoms to emerge a little ahead of schedule.
Fantastic shot Ron the clarity of the blossom is superb, exposure and depth of field makes this a fantastic shot (another A+ class work mark)

Are they already in bloom over there? I can't wait for the seasons to change. My children have been painting cherry blossoms all week. What a love Spring picture to wake up to on this, a cold foggy morning in Korea :) looking forward to more Spring themes over the next few weeks.

@pcoulson Thanks Peter. I could hardly get enough of the cherry blossoms. I've got several more, much wider versions. Those are to come.

@jskuse Yes, Jenny, they are in full bloom here. It's been unusually warm all winter and the trees seem to think it's already April. Sorry! I'll try to get some spring-like photos for you!

@marmaladeskyes Thanks, Tracy. I love them too, but I have to admit that this is the first time I've examined them so closely. I now realize what I've been missing!

I really like the way you composed this picture. The bit of blue sky in the background makes the upper blossoms extra brilliant while the others glow against the green background.

@simta Thanks, Simta! @lyndemc I really appreciate the composition comment - I wasn't sure if I had balanced those colors out properly. I just thought it looked nice to me. I have much to learn!

@lyndemc Oh, and thanks for the fav's. You're going to inflate my ego if you keep doing that! ;-)
