Trying to convey a sense of the candelabra-like branches of this Chinese dogwood tree in a local public garden.

Canon 7D, Tamron 55-200mm lens @ 68mm, 1/160 sec @ f 7.1, - 1ev, ISO 400.

Ian, it seems to me that the two white flowers are floating on a green sea. I like too the points and the lines that you designed for the composition. Excellent work for me.
Take care.

This is lovely, Ian, with all the green sprinkled with white flowers. I do find myself wishing for a bit more detail in the petals of the middle flower.

Ian - Nice flowing lines in the frame nicely interrupted by the Dogwood Blooms.

Very artistic. I'm not to sure of the frame, but that is what you decided and I can live with it. Nicely done.

Yes, a very oriental look. Well composed Ian. The crop works well to emphasize the lines. Beautiful image!

I really like this. It conveys a peaceful serenity. I like the lines created by the branches and the placement of the branches and blooms within the frame.
