When I arrived in Korea on April 15th, it was bleak, overcast, & pouring rain. The following day had this pleasant weather surprise in store for me. The Japanese planted flowering cherry trees all over Korea, during their 35 year colonial occupation of Korea from 1910-1945. The Americans liberated Korea in August, 1945.

Hi Chris,
Wonderful capture of cherry blossoms, I hope few weeks later we will be able to eat the fruits of these trees. :) Excellent focus, depth and sharpness, nicely bright late-spring composition. TFS!

hi Chris

Very lovely scenery of the cherry blossom so nicely captured on the blue sky backdrop. Strong saturated color is very impressive here. I like this POV to the sky.

Good work.

Hello Chris,

I just love the pretty pink blossoms of cherry and almond, which, in this country, are almost alwways called Japanese!
Your narrow dof has given sharp clarity to the front blossoms and allowed those in the b/g to set the context.
Fine saturation despite the strong sunlight.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)
