Potentially nice shot... a couple of things I would correct: The shot needs to be rotated clockwise about 2° to bring the wall and telephone pole to vertical. The shot seems to be a bit oversharpened, or perhaps tightly cropped from a bigger shot. The blossoms on the tree would be more engaging if they were in better focus. Overall, it also seems a bit overexposed.

I like the subject of your picture but I think there are a lot of things that you could do to strengthen your photograph. The first thing that comes to mind is that the colors look very washed out, almost as if the picture was overexposed by a stop or so. The second thing that comes to mind is that there are a lot of distracting objects in this photo. To list a few, the building on the left, the phone pole in the background, the driveway(?) on the right side and the yellow object that appears to be next to the driveway. A lot of these things can be eliminated by using a wider aperture to throw the background out of focus. I would increase the contrast and saturation also. It might also help to just walk around the tree and take pictures from all different angles and distances and see what works the best. It took me 4 days of trying to get pictures of my peach trees to get some shots that I liked. What worked for me was a low angle and close to the tree. Every tree is different and it will probably take time to find the best angle and lighting situation. Usually early morning and late afternoon give the best light. I hope some of this is helpful to you. I gave this one a 4 but I think you could produce much better with a little more work.

This is a nice photo, but the color is rather bland and it's not creating much wow factor in the image. It seems to be a bit overexposed... - setzler

It's hard to tell the colors of the blossoms.. they look almost white. Plus there's too much of thet grass showing. You should have zoomed in on a 2 x 3 foot area of the blossoms instead.

The colors are very muted. I can't wait for spring though.
