Color for Spring

None are sharp. Second two were shot using Canon 100-400 to reach blooms and leaves way out of reach, and the wind was blowing, so there are all my excuses. :-D Please try downloads.
Flowering Almond (Canon 24mm)

Spring Leaves and blooms of Japanese Maple

Not my favorite, but Hubby likes it. ;-)

A lovely set Donna sharp or not. What lovely soft pink blooms of the flowering Almond Tree. Love the rich colour of the Maple. I really like the last one, composition and colour, what is it? :thumbup: :D

Absolutely Beautiful, thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
Some times sharpness will hurt a picture more than help, I never use a sharping tool, I stay off that button, sometimes I will use unsharp mask.
Tell your hubby I like that one to, :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thank you so much, Sylvia! The last one is the 'bloom' of the dogwood tree. I think the white 'petals' are actually bracts, and the true flowers are the tiny inside parts in the middle of the petals.

Well thanks so much, HT, and I'll tell Hubby somebody finally agrees with him. :-D I'm right with you on sharpening. It can ruin a good shot.

A beautiful trio, Donna. #2 is crisp & sharp, which suits it. In my untrained opinion, I think that the slight softness of #1 & #3 is perfect. They would be spoiled if they were tack sharp. I love the way that you always separate the background. Super shots. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Well thank you ever so much, Earl!

Lovely, Donna. I'm voting with Vic here--the dogwood is incredible! The Japanese maple shot is no slouch, either, lol. Good enough for any wall. A beautiful series!

Regardless Donna, these are beautiful. No. 2 is a home run.

Donna, these are very lovely! I have never seen a flowering almond. Also, I'm with your hubby... I like the last one a lot.
