I don't know..if you had closed in we wouldn't have gotten the double treat of the flowers in front and the hill and sky behind, all of which enhance this lovely tree!!
Sorry, I should clarify. I meant i should have closed my aperture a bit so that the depth of field would be larger. Not that i should have zoomed in more.
I see no need for smaller aperture;the DOF is good as the tree stands out more this way,another beautiful work by you.it has terrific composition with those angles and the feel is very fresh and summery.
