[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This flower cherry in full bloom reveals once again the colors of spring.

I took this against the sun and used the flash to lighten the foreground.
I didn't forget to straighten it up :) this is the correct pov.

The original is in the workshop.
The post-processing is as follows:
- in lab mode
- overall lighten: new curves layer, L=auto, layer blending screen, layer opacity 66
- darken sky, increase contrast: above that againg new curves layer, L=auto, layer blending multiply, layer opacity 47, blending options: blend if a(0, 128/140)
- flatten image
- blur sky: duplicate layer, gaussian blur 3, blending options: blend if a(0, 128/140)
- flatten image
- sharpening: usm 500/1/1

Hello Attila,
At first I thought it was a reflection off the water... Composition is good.. Great POV, nice and sharp contrast.. Color, brightness, contras and saturation are all good..

Szia Atti! I am an old friend from Baia-Mare ,Elli Toth ,now I live in Canada . Do you remember me? anyways ,this is my favorite picture! you are doing a great job!

bonjour Attila,

Very original picture. Original POV that fools our mind. Fill-in flash shows excellent details in the flowers. I wouldn't say it looks natural, but it is impressive. Nice work and TFSl

Alain

A very unique shot. When I looked at the thumbnail I thought it was a reflection in water. Good use of the flash and nice job of coming up with something different and creative.
