This is a very beautiful image Packed with stunning details and wonderful colors and harmony. I really like your processing of this image. Great visual and initial impact. Very good center of interest and story telling ability. Your lighting and exposure are very well controlled. Great technique and very high technical excellence.
Nothing to distract the eye here. Pleasure to view!

Congrats,

Paul

I like this composition. Especially intriguing is how the light falls onto the branch with a golden shine. The diagonal position of the branch is pleasant. The fine rendered details of the catkins draw the eyes of the viewer. The catkins are beautifully emphasized by the changing light at the background. This creation is a picture of elegance and harmony.

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Goslings! Who knew?! I love these more now, because they do resemble the downtown soft baby Goslings.
Cara your focus is razor sharp, background smooth as silk and details show the softness of the Willow Catkins.
Outstanding Photography mixed with your artist touch.
My new favorite of the year!
Bravo!
And......
Socks off Kvinne!!!!! ;)

This is such a lovely and interesting image, Annie. The details in the buds is really amazing. I can feel the softness of the goslings. The yellow bits of what I'm assuming are pollens really pop off of the page. The soft light in your background is the cherry on top. Such nice work.

Beautiful image, simple yet very effective nature shot, well focused, the image is clear, exposure is well managed, colors and tones are natural. Excellent show of the details and soft texture of the willow catkins, well composed against a neutral background that allows a clear undistracted view. Well presented!

Wow Annie, you never cease to amaze me! You can take something so simple and ordinary and turn it into 'Art'. Everything about this is perfect, but the focus is so good that even my old eyes can see details I never expected. Well done!

Dave

Beautiful close-up of the willow catkins. They do look soft like gosling feathers. Wonderful color. The lighting and background gives it a soft look. Focus is good and lighting is excellent. Wonderful shot.

You have made something so simple and make it look so beautiful. The lighting shows off the yellow which is the most colorful part of the catkins. The background is the right background that makes the white color pop off the page. I am amazed every time I see your work.
