Flowering Tree 04

This is the fourth (and final) in a series of four images of a flowering tree that caught my eye on my daily commute home from work. I hesitated to include this in the series because of the blown out sky. I cropped away from the right side significantly to minimize the sky, as well as from the bottom to minimize the fence's prominence in the frame. What do you think? And ... which of the four do you like the best?

 

I'll be out of town for several days, but may actually get some online time. The end of the school year is 6 weeks away! :-)

Any comments or ratings are appreciated! :-)

I think I like #3 the best. That one is the most effective crop, although this is nice too but doesn't have as much visual impact. Best regards.

I like number one the best because of it's comp and the wood grain. This one is a bit dark and I find the sky distracting.

I like the entire fence one the best. I think this is my least favorite. I think because the flowering branches are cut off abruptly.

Lou Ann, I'd give slight edge to #2 over this, mainly because of the white sky. I do like the composition here better though, but overall, #2 has depth.
