I think an outer border with the color of the darker tree bark would work better, either in place of or added to the current border. I like the coloring, composition, etc....
very interesting photograph! i love the crisp focus on the foreground blooms, and the dof of the leading lines of the branch to the distant blooms. Fabulously done!
Awesome colors! The B&W background effect enhances the colors even more. Shallow DOF also works here. Maybe the purple border is too much of a good thing though?
A definite wow shot. Excellent use of focus (anyone who says differently doesn't understand focus at all). The colors are the central aspect of the picture. The only thing I don't like is that the trunk leads my eye out of the picture. 8
I like the composition of this photograph. The use of color and depth of field are very well done. The background is far enough out of focus as to not be distracting, and the blossoms in the foreground appear to be well in focus. The exposure is very good here, I can’t find any blown-out areas and the lighting is not too harsh. The only suggestion I would make on this photograph would be to try it at different times of the day. From looking at the shadows underneath the flowers it appears that you shot this one around noon. I would try it in the early morning around sunrise or in the late evening as the sun is going down depending on which direction the tree is facing. I think that lighting might eliminate the dark shadows underneath the flowers and could bring out the color more. Good job here, I gave this picture a 7.
Beautiful image. Good dof and colors.
Also what I like about this picture is that the flowers seem so lively in contrast to the dead environment in the lower right corner. The pink border disturbs me a little bit though
