Hawthorn Blooms

The first trees to bloom and they are .... yum!

Would love to hear your thoughts on these, thanks for taking a look!

I like the first and last one best. The first one I like the composition, the bokeh and distribution of the flowers. The last one is nice, sharp, simple, a minimalist approach but the flower is just too centered. Have you tried putting it in one of the power positions of the Rule of Thirds? Just asking....

Thanks for your thoughts Izzie, I was a little blah about the composition on the last one, it was a last minute decision to post it with the rest and I probably should have trusted my first instinct and left it off, I may revisit it and see if there is a more dynamic composition.

I really like the first one, I took the same picture yesterday


Only difference is a bird got in the way in mine :greenpbl:

Thanks Bill

I wish a bird got in the way! I waited and waited for the ones in the field to come roost in them, heck I would have gladly settled for a chickadee! Alas nobody came to play

You can have one of mine then, she stopped to smell the flowers

Officially a jealous rabbit! I must redouble efforts!
