Comment from Envision
These are very pretty flowers that immediately bring their pleasant fragrance to mind. You captured the details of the tiny petals wonderfully. I like seeing the design and texture that stands out. The softness and color of the background is very flattering too.

Yes i like your thoughts a flower garden on a tree. A very lovely and magical concept.
Beautifl colors and I love the mint green background. It really allows the beautiful pink blooms show very well. The leaves are also very lovely showing in green and magenta hues.
Really well captured and a pleasure to view. A nice contest contender. i wish you the best.

I have always loved the flowers on the crabapple, and this is such a beautiful cluster of them.
Love their intricate detail and soft pink colors. The pastel green in the background compliments this so wonderfully. Excellent detail seen in the veining of the petals too. A beautiful entry and best of luck in the contest.

A beautiful capture of the flowering crabapple blossoms. Nicely cropped and well composed shot. Very well photographed with beautiful lighting and natural colors. A good sharp focus rendering good details and clarity in your image. Your diffused background isolating your subject beautifully. This is very nice work and thanks for sharing!
