This is a wonderful picture in that when you glance at the thumbnail you get the feeling that it will be a sharp as a tack shot but when you open the file it's got the impressionist feel as well as the sharpness, but not to sharp in the grass on the left.
The framing and composition on this is very nice with the intersection of the branches happening in the center but not quite dead center. The petals from the flowers make it look like the tree is still budding and adds a very surreal feel to the whole shot.
The refelcting branch or leaves in the upper off center right is a bit distracting though. It keeps wanting me to look up there but I would rather focus on the intersecting branches and petals.
The grassy bank in the upper left ands the touch of reality that works very well with this shot, it's clear but still has a soft feel to it so it's not fighting with the water reflection for attention. It draws you in to follow the branches and back out the lower right.
Overall, very nice, if I were to vote on this it would get an 8 from me, 9 or 10 if the dark branch was cloned out. :)
