This tugs at my heart strings. This has been such a long winter! Not too sure of the comp, but it is extremely difficult to isolate cherry blossoms.

Love the colors! Considering the shallow DOF, I would like this to be deep enough to take in the 4 front blossoms and the 2 buds. Unless this was a really windy day, dropping the SS to get smaller focal opening would have gotten this. :smile:

The comp is a little messy, Ian, but the image joyfully announces Spring.
