Absolutely GORGEOUS, Janine!! The detail, composition and your capture...excellent in every respect! #649097

Katarina Mansson May 04, 2007

I agree with Dan; superb picture! I especally like the soft lighting and the natural colors.
(I see a lot of dogwood pictures at BP but cannot remember having seen it for real in Europe. Is is a tree? Where does it grow? It is such a charming flower in the pictures.) #4245178

With trees, brushes and wild flowers, it's very hard to pick the right branch to photograph and getting the correct light exposure is even more difficult. You have picked the perfect example and photographed it with excellence. The composition is well arranged and the BG complements the image with continued interest. Well done Janine! #4245189
