Under the Cherry Tree


None of the flowers seem to be in focus, but the colours and beauty were just awesome.

I spent a lot of time under the trees and even though it was a grey overcast day I like how the pink of the blossoms seem to suit the grey sky.

Check out the workshop showing where the photo was taken please…

This was taken at my granddaughter’s Netball game. . . Also, it was a very windy day.

Hello Janice! Amazing tree, amazing flowers. Nice colors. Very nice capture. Good frame. Well done!

Hi Janice,

I agree that the colours of the cherry blossoms are beautiful. And they do look good against the blue sky.

I think the fact that the flowers are not all sharp takes away a little bit. It would work if there was some sort of pattern in the focus/out of focus blossoms. But here, I think it just makes the whole thing look out of focus.

I'd like to see this shot from the ground and upwards with some of the cheery tree trunk in the frame. The point of view of someone lying down and resting under the tree.

Hi Janice

Hi Janice,
Amazing that your cherry blossoms are blooming now - and we are in fall. I have a tree in my front yard that blooms in May and I have tried 100 times to get the full shot in focus. You have done well with this. It is very beautiful. A very 'cheery' cherry photo. TFS Julie

well done Janice realy nice shot grt addition to the theme tfs

Hello Janice,

I have to agree with you, it is the overall effect of the shot that carries the impact!
It is the sort of shot that used to be turned into murals in the 60's, to liven a room and fill it with springtime!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Spring where you live and the overall effect is delightful.
A mass of pink that carries so much impact.

HI Janice
With a composition of so many tiny flowers its hard to tell if they are out of focus, and if they are so what.
Its the results that count and it does look very pretty and spring like.
Dot

Focused or not Janice still a pretty colour and suitable for the theme. Wind is a real problem not only with blossom but flowers here at the moment,
Dave
