Even better than the last one, Scott. I like the way the snow lies across the full width of the branch and the contrast with the fully open flowers.

Scott, that mostly blue sky behind the branch really sets of the colors and details in the blooms, leaves, and the snow drape. Looks both chilly and attractive at the same time.

Hi Scott,
I like the colors and there's enough detail in the whites to balance the scene. My pear tree was the only fruit tree to take a hit with every flower blossom browned out from the freeze. Unfortunately for these flowers, the cold temperatures may limit the amount of fruit set. Overall this image fits the WC showing that plants that adhere to a schedule based on temperature and photo-period duration often fall victim to the unpredictable nature of weather........................Jim

Nice contrasts here - the last of winter (hopefully) and the first of spring. Nice perspective, colours, and BG.
Congrats on the EP!
