Pink Dogwood Flowers against Blue Sky

[Wendianne]

It's been awhile since I've had internet, so I hope this would be where I would put this photo...

I used my zoom to take this picture at the tree top.

I don't have any PP software yet, though I am working on understanding Gimp.

Personally, I like nature pictures, and your contrast of the pinks and the blue sky. I would have used a smaller aperture, maybe f11 or maybe f16 to increase the depth of field. To me, it appears as if some of the petals are soft focus instead of being much sharper. Probably set the ASA value to 200 instead of auto. Just my opinion of course. Have fun... I try to!
