A portrait of a tree

A portrait of a cherry tree in blossom in the vineyards. Your opinions and

suggestions for improvement are welcome.

Like the composition and the colours. Gives you a feeling of spring.

moje oblubene miesto. bol som tam ked kvitol, ale nesvietilo. potom so uz nestihal. uz asi odkvitol aj.

Wow, even the small preview let me think "Velvia and medium format". The central composition is perfect here, since you got a nice radial gradient of brightness and saturation with you wide angle lens. High quality colrs and tones, very beautiful color contrast, strong lines - I have nothing to complain here :-)

Sidsel, thank you, I am glad you like it.

Boris, ahoj - I remembered you immediately when I saw the tree... My favourite tree near Edelstahl I shot last year in the night had been cut off, it gave way to new building grounds. I did not shoot this one at night, if you continue about 300 m through the vineyards towards Edelstahl, you'll find the cherry tree I shot at night this year (now still in my Recent Uploads folder). I was thinking of taking a night shot of your tree, but found it quite challenging regarding depth-of-field (when shooting medium format at f/4) and lightpainting in the vineyard. Maybe next year.

Carsten, this scene was made for Velvia. I regret that it was quite windy on that morning, resulting in movements of the branches, but still it came out fine. I will post other versions for comparison.

Best regards to all.
