Spring Pear Blossoms Photo

Photographer’s Note

These blossoms are from my pear tree in my front yard. This pear tree rarely has more than a handful of pears, and now has so few blossoms I don't think it will have any. The winter was hard on it this year I think, but now it's still struggling to survive and these few blossoms say to me it is finally spring again.

Hi Lori. Very nice peach blossom macro. To keep our eyes on the focal point better I'd suggest cropping some of the top off. Yes the out of focus ones are nice but my eyes keep drifting up there. I am excited about going to the National Arboretum this weekend to see the azalea's in peak bloom in addition to everything else they have. Nice shot Lori!

Hi Lori,
The delicate colors and detail you captured does look like spring. I agree with Steve about the crop, I'd just keep those three central blossoms.
Regards, Pat
