About the Image(s)

Description: Taken from my backyard earlier this year. I used my D750 with a 28-105 zoom at 105 mm< Aperture at 4.5 and shutter at 1/500 second handheld. I made a duplicate layer and used the smudge to swirl up the scene for use as a background for the blossom. I desaturated the duplicate layer a little before uncovering the blossom with the erasure tool. I cropped to a square thinking that was the best way to present the subject.
