Hello Janice,

A lovely capture of the lemon blossom, its buds and leaves; they are beatifully sharp against the oof b/g.
Perhaps a slight crop from the top would place the focal flowers in a stronger position within the frame.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Hi Janice

Let's see. Lemon Merangue Pie, Lemonade, Lemon slices, Fish with lemon juice. Yep. I'd be thankful too! Good use of a shallow dof here, with superb sharpness on the blossums. Tfs! Have a great weekend!

HI Janice
I am so glad you saved this one for today
I love the slightly off-centre composition and the mature fruit in the background gives great context and perspective
Superb image
Thanks for contributing to the theme

Janice I liked that I had to look for the lemon in this photo, Your DOF works well showing enough clarity to understand what the blossom is for.
I noticed in your notes that this is a hybrid so explains the orange color of the lemon .. shows the importance of notes.

Hello Janice,an excellent close up of these beautiful flowers;I have never seen the flowers of the lemon tree before.
I like the 'portrait' presentation with the blurred leaves and fruit in the bg.
Good work.
Interesting note.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Janice, I'm very envious that you are able to grow lemons! I would love that!
I know the fragrance of the Meyer Lemon blossoms .. I once had one that I grew in a pot. Beautiful. This shot is really great too ... great focus and sharpness on the flowers and unopened buds, and nice shallow DOF.
Great job. Enjoy your spring.

Beautiful shot Jannie! The quality here is amazing! How nice you are able to grow lemons. We are a bit TOO north for that, we freeze here, but down in the valley, about 200 miles south, they grow there pretty well. This is top notch work!

We had fish and chips at Mission Bay on Thursday night and took lemon to put on the fish.

Lovely pin sharp detail, your composition is great.

Hi Janice,
Superb composition, great how you managed to have the little flower perfect sharp and show the beauty of the detail. The DOF creates a special and attractive image with fine pastel colours. A unique kind of nature photography. Great post my dear!

Thanks for clarifying the variety of your lemon tree Janice , first i thought that what i was seeing in the BG looked more like an orange ,surely not as yellow as the one i use in my kitchen , hi hi , but now i know what it is and thanks to your informative note, well i could make use of it here, Gee i wonder why i have never seen a Meyer lemon at the market , i'm taking note of this !
Nicely presented , sharp and i like the flower that grows here on this tree it's kind of cute frankly, i understand why you could not be without one in your garden ,
Thanks for the note Janice,
Carol
