piro, great shot, great colours, but i cant help but wonder how it would look in black and white as well - the colour image is so punchy i think it would convert well to b+w.
That said - i think i'm developing a thing about b+w at the moment...... :shock:

Very nice Piro! Amazing colours. My cherry blossom has only buds at the moment, have to wait for October, I think, but a couple of other blossoms I have seen blossoming around the place! :lol:

Can't wait for Spring! Lots of instability means lots of storms.......hopefully! :roll:

Nice shot Piro. Talk about a weird season. Got snowed in yesterday and I'll be out snapping blossoms on the weekend. Did you use a cpl to get the sky looking so rich and deep blue?

hi everyone,

thanks for your comments

Chris, I'll have a go at the b&w conversion

stormy, if you have the time go driving around the streets where in front of each house has a plum/cherry blossom. I think Doncaster has them, but I need to find out first.

John, I didn't use a CPl just the good old 50mm 1.8

Also, Banksia Park in Bulleen is my fav...authentic Japanese Cherry Blossoms.. I'm going to Banksia Park this weekend to see if the cherry's have blossom.

I have one on my front nature strip, but since it's in the care of the local council, it's a sad and sorry state....not worth wasting film.....err...a shutter acusation on! :wink:

that's why you need to go to a decent suburb

And it's shutter actuation, not shutter accusation...unless of course you're planning on accusing your subjects via your camera...
