In keeping with the Capa "get closer" quotation (above in ref to In Wales' pub portrait) I'd go even closer. The out of focus stuff doesn't add much for me, and in this close-up you notice the buds more - while there is still enough fuzzy background to give a bit of context and to bring out focus on flower.

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.

Re: Plum blossoms (none / 0)

I prefer mine. I like the context.

Re: Plum blossoms (none / 1)

That's the irritating thing about aesthetics :-)
