Lovely tree photo. Shame you didn't add a note. Nice colour to the image. Shame you had to crop some of the top/side branches. TFS.

Wish you could hae stepped back a bit to get the whole tree in. You did pick a day with a wonderful sky though. Very nice.
400 years old! That's amazing!
It looks like a Canadian oak tree covered in snow...lol.
regards,
Kelley

Hi Hirotoshi,
I love cherry blossom trees and this picture reflects the simple beauty this trees have.
The composition is very good and color contrast between the pink petals, the green trees and the blue sky is magnificent.
Congratulations on the great picture ;)
