A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of those beautiful buds and blooms. Colours, textures and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

Good shot here Nancy of these Apple Blossoms. Great colours and exposure. Good focus, texture and clarity and I really like the background bokeh. Well done and good luck in the contest :-)

A beautiful entry into the contest. Outlining the flowers and blurring the background sets the flowers off to the max.; You show the beauty and delicacy of the flowers to their maximum. Good luck in the contest
