This is lovely, Albert! Love the white on white look in this image. . .looks like floral roping that belongs at a wedding. :smile: Very nice details throughout and good lighting. The clouds background works so well with this string of fresh blossoms. What a wonderful foretaste of spring!

Nice job using the sky as the high key bg, Albert. The white blossoms are beautiful against the white bg. I don't know about you, but I am getting tired of the white snow and I'm looking forward to some white blossoms and blue skies.

You have a good eye Albert. This is a new way to present the large burst of blossoms found on most fruit trees. The single branch and floral clusters is very appealing. Great job! Come on Spring 2013!

I like this almost monochromatic image. Very well seen!

Albert: Beautiful stem and a wonderful BG. The larger version is especially nice. I think I would have been tempted to pop a little flash on the blooms to make them a bit brighter but this works for me as is. Well done.>=))>

A beautiful presentation Albert. Love the little 'dots' and lines of the stamens. The lighting is so complimentary to the bg and the blooms. :toast:

Hi Albert, you did a great job shooting white flowers against a pale blue sky! Very nice.
