How many times have we, as children, stretched out beneath such a tree, and refreshed ourselves in the coolness of it's shade? With the beautiful blossoms in profusion, dancing in the breeze for our delight. This is a fantastic photograph, which brought back memories to my heart.

A very nicely composed shot with beautiful colors. I like the broad reach of the cherry tree but find the bridge in the background a bit distracting. Best of luck in the contest.

A very beautiful view point, I love the distance your gave it showing a great connection to nature to let the tree shine in its own essence, fantastic frame choice, beautiful initial impression, well balanced, well composed, perfect camera technique, a very appealing and beautiful spring shot, just inviting to sit under this huge tree and to enjoy life, well seen, thanks for sharing

That looks like a great tree that you have posted here. Your composition is very appropriate giving us an equally good look at trunk and branches as well as the blooms. Well done!

This is a truly lovely entry for this contest. It is nothing more beautiful than a spring blooming tree, and you have photographed this one so well. The pink blooms are of course lovely, but I also like the way the light and shadows are captured on the green lawn.

Your photo is also nice and sharp and the tree is standing out really clear and well defined. Also the exposure is very good, and I so much appreciate the nice and natural colors.

The way you have cropped the photo is working really well, and I like that the stem of the tree is placed all the way off to the left. Indeed a lovely and well taken photo with a very good DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

Very pleasing photo representing spring, my favorite time if year. Very nice color. The composition is nice although I cant see much of the river. Nice back story about the man planting the trees

I love all trees especially cherry blossom trees. This is a very nice close up of one. It would be too hard to center the tree because of the way it's spread out. Great job
