Blossom in Red

Taken in Japanese spring. Thanks for your time. Pnina

NICE

CR: Nice, indeed! An example of good taste. Good to spread the theme a little, so we get a light character too. REgards

Nice anti-stress photo. I like the harmony of colors and the way the blossoms stand out from the background, like flying in a brown sky

You have definitely captured the Japanese essence. The buds look like they are made out of silk.

 

Gorgeous.

Reiner, what do you mean by " spreading the theme"?

 

Tutte, yes, I as well thought that they look like silk....

 

Manolis, Anti-stress... what a nice definition...

 

Thanks Zuhal and Matthew for writing and not only rating......

Looks rather like a painting. Very beautiful.

I like this very much. To me, the bright red signafies warmth & passion. It contrast very well with the background.

Well chosen DOF. The left side is a little busy, but not so much as to detract because of the two balancing sides of brilliant red. I like that one side has bloomed, while the other side is still in bud.

Very nice shallow d.o.f., Pnina. The red is really intense. Kim has a point about the focus on left flower, but all in all, it doesn't take away much from the overall result. Thanks for sharing Japan with us.

Thanks to all of you!

 

Kim, I agree about the lower side but didnot want to give up the open flower.

 

Wilson, I loved my visit in Japan, getting to know that culture that I liked a lot from reading.

 

Another beautiful blossom.the red very intense.

Hi Pnina. Good to see you back and nice of you to share the pictures from Japan with us. All the best.

 

Kind regards.

A very pretty composition. The reds are so rich against the beautiful bright and then fading to dark background.

You Alix

 

Hi Zafar, nice to meet you here, as well as you Kim.

Excellent DOF for this coral red blossoms. Definitely you capture the Japanese feel; I can't explain it but sense it, maybe because I like Japanese Art and find so much in your photos.

Colors are great, but I particularly like the closed buds and open flower and, because the buds and flower are in a different stage of development, don't think it's inappropriate that one of them is not sharply in focus. I haven't figured it out, but there's something about using DOF to blur what otherwise could be in focus in these bloom shots that seems to push at a stronger theme than a classicly crisp macro shot - maybe it draws more attention to the temporariness of the bloom and the cycles and regeneration of spring, as with the transition from blooms to leaves on these blossoming trees. Best, Jeremy.

They are so beautiful in red ...! Thank you for bring it all the from Japan to PN .

7/7

I like the mix of vibrant reds and the more subtle shades of the branch and background.

Colin, Welcome back and thanks for all your comments!

 

Jeremy,Thanks for your nice interpretation.What I liked is the two stages of development on one stem.I think that a neutral dof helps to accentuate the details and colors of the flower, but sometime hints of background can add a lot.
