spring 2008 Spring Trees

..but I think the distance is your enemy here.

It looks like there's more to the story, if only I could see what's to the left or right.. while if you close-crop the image, it becomes less distracting to wonder what's out of frame.

I'm thinking if you cropped it to only show the right side of the yellow plants right up until just before the left side of yellow and keep it landscape. Give that a try. You would lose your dark green of the pine but get a better view of the yellow-pink-purple-brown.

I dunno, I'm an amateur. Just my nickel's worth.
