• cropped like this better? - look to see
  • i experimented with a number of crops but liked this one the best. i think some of the darker areas complement the flowers well.

    Seems like a garland of cherry blossoms hanging down from the upper left corner of the picture... in my modest opinion no better cropping is needed :)
    Really beautiful!

    Nicely composed and I like the indirect even light. I can see why you liked the dark elements in the background to set-off the foreground.

    thanks Rob!
