Very pretty, soft spring shot:)

Spring is like a figment of the imagination, Marcie...just before summer takes hold!
Ginnie on 21st April 2009 @ 8:44pm
love these colors and the light

Lovely soft focus type shot.
Terry H. on 21st April 2009 @ 9:01pm
Beautiful. I love the colors!
cara on 21st April 2009 @ 9:02pm
Marcie, this is so unique and so delicate at the same time. What a beautiful way to capture new life!
Evita on 21st April 2009 @ 9:05pm
beautiful spring blossoms.. very nice shot.. :)
rian on 21st April 2009 @ 9:07pm
Muted colors and the quality of light has a really nice soft, subtlety. Nicely done!
Hess on 21st April 2009 @ 9:21pm
A wonderful testament to spring. The repetition with the flowers out of focus adds a very dynamic element to the frame.

We got April showers too - snow showers, that is! What happened to last week's 73-degree weather?!
Kathe on 21st April 2009 @ 10:06pm
Sweet.

Very pretty. We're well beyond spring now. Nice to revisit the bud stage. So often they're more splendid that the full bloom.

Lovely image...

Takes my breath away! Beautiful macro!
Caroline on 22nd April 2009 @ 12:50am
I really like the soft look
Thomas Solberg / Project neXus on 22nd April 2009 @ 6:21am
Nice - I took some shots like this last weekend too, there are so many buds and blooms and blossoms that I never really noticed before I started carrying a camera around with me everywhere!
Liz on 22nd April 2009 @ 7:22am
I like the shallow dof and the pastel colors. Beautifully captured :)
Susan on 22nd April 2009 @ 8:35am
Yes....even in those light April showers photo opportunities exist. Nice.
Sue on 22nd April 2009 @ 9:06am
a delightful shot; a delightful time of year.
david on 22nd April 2009 @ 9:58am
Love the DOF...sorry, I haven't been able to post new photo on my blog...getting close to my due date and am trying to get things organized for the new baby. :)
Midori on 22nd April 2009 @ 10:08am
Nice use of limited DoF to highlight the patterns in these fresh, rain-saoked buds.
harry on 22nd April 2009 @ 10:12am
So beautiful and delicate. I live the tones!
Standley on 22nd April 2009 @ 10:24am
A fine shot of these buds. The focus control and blur are exceptional. Very nice image.
don on 22nd April 2009 @ 10:39am
so so beautiful. i'm in awe of how you keep doing this.
michele on 22nd April 2009 @ 11:31am
A lovely detail of this beautiful plant.
Andrés on 22nd April 2009 @ 12:08pm
Marcie, I adore this! I realize you've added blur but (and this will sound contradictory) but I love the clarity of the selective focus. This is truly beautiful.
Happy Earth Day!
Diane on 22nd April 2009 @ 12:13pm
beautiful
yz on 22nd April 2009 @ 12:44pm
I really like the soft focus on this picture. Beautiful!
Frida on 22nd April 2009 @ 1:37pm
Great simple composition.. uncluttered, not simple. Wonderful dof! Very beautifully Asian looking to me.
Mike Paulison on 22nd April 2009 @ 4:50pm
Really nice colors on this macro. I like the softness on this shot!
Andy on 22nd April 2009 @ 5:00pm
Beautiful color and tones-love the soft selective focus!
Susan on 22nd April 2009 @ 5:13pm
Very cool use of focus and DoF.
Michael Rawluk on 22nd April 2009 @ 5:31pm
Love it!
Puna on 22nd April 2009 @ 6:07pm
So beautiful. Our flowering trees have all gone green by now. It looks like yours are just starting. Welcone to Spring.
Suzanne on 22nd April 2009 @ 10:52pm
Simply gorgeous. It looks like my may day tree, except my tree only has two clusters. ;)
Toni on 23rd April 2009 @ 2:11am
so pretty!
mary on 23rd April 2009 @ 12:56pm
Gentle and beautiful, welcoming the new spring and the upcoming summer.
Great. Love the green pink combination.
Ilan on 23rd April 2009 @ 3:17pm
The subtle colors and central focal point surrounded by the blur effect work perfect together. Nice one Marcie! :)
