I'm putting the blossoms behind me for a while and wanted to enter just one or two more. This is one of my favorites and the other two are the same image but with a bit of a tonal difference between them. Which one should I work with more?

Michael Kelly's Gallery 		  I like the first - top - post the best. It has some wonderful lighting and the light coming between the branches adds to the feel of the shot. Color is great and the DOF with a partially blurred and darker set of blossoms in the BG is right on. I think opening the shadows a bit would help the shot, but other than that it looks good as presented.

What I like about the first posted image is the way the light is coming through almost a little "cave" made by the branch at the top left-hand corner. Here is revised version with the shadows opened up a bit.
