Cool... this works really well in front of that blurry background. Such a delicate little blossom, great job with the lighting and contrast too, very well balanced, Cindy.

Cindy , it is as always beautiful. I has a real feeling of spring about it. Very nice work.

Definately full view... you have captured this shot very well, wonderful lighting and composition.. like how you have blurred the background it makes it stand out even more.. well done Cindy

What a beautiful job you have done with this. It is just stunning!! :-)))

Beautiful, Cindy. My only suggestion would be to crop it in closer to the main focus, and place it off center. Give that a try and see what you think. I'm thinking perhaps cropping it so the background light in the upper left corner doesn't interfere with it. My 2 cents worth from the peanut gallery. :) Have a great day, my friend.

I think this is just lovely, the blurred background effect works really well as to not take the soft focus off the little blossom. I really am pleased with this and the clarity is just perfect here, top marks all the way!

Excellent shot Cindy, perfectly on focus and the blurred background is great. I like the photo as it is. Well done.

Lovely, Cindy! I love the lighting, it's perfect, great shot!

Oh yeah Cindy!! Marvelific!! Luv the glassy effect on the background and that lighting is totally choice on the plant!!

Stunning photo Cindy.

Cindy, the sheer beauty of this is awesome! You have done a fine job here. Bravo!

Cindy - what a beautiful image ... And do not tell me this is this year's sign of spring !!!!
Bravo heep heep huurrahhh !!!!!

WOW :D WOZERS :D +FAV :D i think that says it lol

i love the background. did you make it look like glass or was glass really there. it's a lovely shot. boy, you really make up poetic titles. they're great! jen

Wow, Cindy. That is so cool. Full screen is great, too!! The clarity of the bloom against the background is awsome. Well done!

Wondeful image Cindy! I love the way you focused on that one little sapling. and left the background soft focused. Very nice job!..=)

You've shown such a delicate light touch on the effects, it's nice when they overwhelm the picture. A beautiful image Cindy, I really like how the light illuminates your bloom. Well done !

What a wonderful capture Cindy...perfectly composed, so lonely looking, just waiting for his/her 'mates' to join with it! Great.....Bob

Hello Cindy, you do wonderful things on simple subjects. And since Bob here above did not say it: cracking image! :-))

That is really great! I really love it! It is so great that when things are blurry around us that we can be in the light and see clearly! Thank heavens for that light!!!!!

Very Pretty! And you are right about looking at it full screen. That is when I noticed the kewl background effect...looks glassy or liquified...kewl! Again, you always add that creative touch that really makes your photos stand out! Great work Cindy!!!

Indeed... good job there Cindy :)

Hi ya Cindy!! This is just great! Very awesome looking I gotta say! I agree must see in full screen to really appreicate! The background looks so cool with that blurred effect.. reminds me of stained glass! Another beautiful image from you Cindy!! ~Dan

I love the light shining on this one and I do agree with Nathan. I would crop and off center it. You could always use the cloning tool and layering to maintain more of the background.
