Lovely close up, Barbara, showing this beautiful Crabapple blossom. I like the uncluttered green background which contrasts well with the pink flowers. Very good lighting and focus showing great detail in the petal markings. Lovely composition. Suzanne

Excellent composition with a mixture of different flowers in different stages and colors that compliment each other and contrast with the green in the background. Focus and depth of field are both very well done. Lighting is excellent.

The blossoms are very beautiful and your photo brings their beauty to our full attention. I like your composition. The circle of full open pink flowers draws my eyes. The photo is well focused. The blossoms and the buds show crisp detail. The soft green background emphasizes the Crap Apple branch nicely. The square frame is perfect.

I love this crabapple tree, we had one in front of our house which always bloomed in the spring and gave us decoration for my sister's wedding in May one year. Perfectly focused!

Excellent composition! I have photographed these trees hundreds of times and it's not easy to isolate the blooms. Your petals---both closed and open---are beautifully presented.

You have achieved a good perspective. A stunning shot of the Flowering Crabapple. Beautiful capture of natural colors. Perfectly cropped and well composed shot. Very well photographed with sharp focus on the petals and stamens and buds of this gorgeous plant. An artistic shot with beautiful diffused background. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing!

Spring brings the fruit tree flowers. These are a lovely pink. I would think that they are cherry maybe?

No matter what they are, the flowers are in excellent focus. They are centered and the lighting adds to their beauty. The soft green backdrop makes them stand out very nicely. Well done. Thank you for sharing.

Apple blossoms, whether from a crab or a Mac, makes no difference to me for I love them all. They are always bright and cheery.

The due diligence you have ascribed in this take says it all. Bright floral patterns against an even background bokeh is an eye catcher for sure - lots of initial impact.

The previous statement is supported by the excellent framing of this piece. A burst of open blossoms centered above an unopened bouquet below.

Excellent camera technique shows all the fine details of the open blossoms - petal crenellations are clearly seen on all of the petals.

The colors are natural in appearance and do not show signs of over saturation. With an exposure of this high caliber nature's beauty cannot be improved through Photoshop.

This is a very well exposed and composed capture ... B-)) Bob
