    Sparklies

    Can't remember if I've posted this or not. I took it back in January. I posted a couple of the crabapple tree in my front yard, but don't think this was one of 'em.

    John, very nice. Good glistening/sparkle of the icy droplets and the light blue sky offsets the red cherries very well. I think a crop from the top just halfway between the frame and the branch would suffice. If you do, and you decide to crop a bit from the side to keep the ratio, i would do it from the left side so as not to cut that great droplet to the edge on the right.
    The dof is well enough to keep the bg from interferring too much. I really feel the icy freshness that this pictures serves up well.
    Good work
    please do not edit and repost my photos

    Good idea Gary. I'll work on that later, and repost it.

    Love it, Gary. Colors are nice, dof is just right. The only thing I could suggest would be the same on the crop. Very nice image that gives you that brrrrr feeling looking at it.
