Kazuma I just love this photo. I remember when I was there, it always looked like snow on the ground when the sakura petals fell to the ground.

This scene with fallen petals of cherry blossoms like this can only be seen in Japan.
Envious/羨ましい です。
My suggestion would be try to enhance the colors a little.

  Thank you, Anna, Nobi-san.
The day I shot this was rainy and windy, so petals were fallen all together.
Nobi-san, I tried colour tune but it was very difficult. Because I took this photo at dusk. I would like to retry. Do you have any suggestional technique?

  Great shot ! I have always had trouble balancing the extreme lights and darks of the petals and trees, etc.
This one has turned out pretty good. I dont use any photo changing software except for what comes with iphoto from Mac. I recently found that adjusting the highlights (softening or darkening) and some saturation might help. Then again Im Photoshop illiterate...

  Eric, thank you for your warm words. I am also studying digital editing. I should be much better at it.
