One of my favorite flowers, the cherry blossom. It means the season begins. :)

Well, well done. I will remember this in my mental list of "how-to's" that you have added to (although no cherry blossoms here). Just excellent! :toast:

What a delicate and elegant image, Larry! Yellow and pink are the true colors of the spring. A beautiful dress, a pleasure for the eyes.
Cheers.

Gorgeous close-up comp, Larry! I like the diagonal gradient of pink from the very light in the upper left to a rich, darker pink in the lower right. And the "gradient" of focus from the upper right to the lower left. Beautifully done!

Lovely, sweet and soft! I had almost forgotten your Blossom images, Larry! I remember how impressed I was when I saw them for the first time here on NPN, some years ago. They have inspired me! The Cherries are blooming here as well, I want to go out now! However its raining and it would be of no use, I must be patience. :toast: :toast:
