I shot this wild cherry blossom still life a few weeks ago, when the trees were in full bloom. I liked the way the antique Dutch Delft Blue vase contrasted with the pink blossoms. Used natural light, but it was tricky since the vase was quite reflective.

Sweet!
I like the colors and detail, and the BG you chose is perfect.
The framing here allows the eye to flow up and down the stems exploring the blossoms and the vase. The art work on the vase is a perfect compliment to the blossoms.

Beautiful Harald! It would be a great B&W conversion as well.

Harold, I like it. I have been playing with still lifes myself due to this rain.

Thanks all for the comments. The nice thing about shooting still life images indoors by the glass door is not having to deal with all the wind and rain, as Tim mentioned.
