Sakura 4

Posted by Celialee (Kyoto, Japan) on 23 June 2007 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

I had already posted three other black and white pictures of the sakura earlier. Here's another.

Thanks everyone for the lovely comments. I really appreciate them :)

The picture was taken in B&W mode, with a little brightness and contrast adjustment after uploading. The lighting was natural - it was a hazy day and thus softening the glare from the sun. Sakuras or cherry blossoms have such delicate petals that when the light shines through them, you can see the beautiful patterns. I decided I had to take a B&W series of the flowers.
