Spring

Just going back through a few images that I haven't processed, and thought I'd see if this one works for anyone besides me. Late afternoon - Richland Creek WA.

Hey Bill, This definitely works for me. I like the blending of the soft colors and how the dogwoods in the lower left lead the eye in and then up to the redbuds and on out of the shot. The grays and dark colors on the trees add just enough contrast to give some strength to the overall feel of the shot.

As one of my grandsons would say, "Cool Beans".....

Looks really nice to me. I looked for a similar shot this spring, but I never found all the elements together like you did here.

Nice, Bill, I like the array of spring colors.

I like it too.

Not only are the various colors of the leaves nice, you've got some of the same colors in different light. I might crop off the bottom to eliminate the lowest white blooms but that's about it. Very nice work Bill.

Have a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend.

Definitely works for me. I like all the different colors you got in one frame, and the tree trunks add some structure.

Colorful. Well done.

I'd love to see this as a big print. However, I might add that I feel my eye being pulled to the background... I suspect because it's so crisp that I'm looking for what might be back there. It might be a stronger image if the flowers didn't have to compete for attention.

I really like it, Bill

Thanks for the nice comments. It sure seemed like the peak dogwood/redbud bloom went quickly this year, making great comps hard to come by - for me at least.

Works for me as well. I didn't find anything like this either even though i was looking. It did seem like the bloom didn't last very long spring.

i struggle trying to make this kind of shot. just cant quite make them work. thanks for more inspiration to keep plugging away at it.

Looks great to me!

Bill,
LOVE it...Im with Wayne on the crop..the bottom left white blooms can go away and the image is much stronger to me.

I like this crop much better Bill. It works well for me, I like it just the way it is.
