Beautiful. I'm assuming you used a starlight filter... and I love the effects on the dew.10

Greetings from the critique club.

The first thing that strikes me about this picture is that there seems to be no real thought made about composition. I would like to have seen the blossom in the top left cropped out as it is distracting. I would also have preferred the main subject, the blossoms and branch in the foreground, to be whole, that is not cropped as on the right of the shot.

I like the way the shapes and colours from the foreground are carried through to the background providing some continuity to the overall theme but the fact that the foreground is not in sharp focus detracts somewhat. If this section was in sharper focus I think the bokeh in the background would provide more of a contrast and give the foregound more of an impact to really make it stand out.

The photo looks a little muddy on my monitor and could benefit from brightening up a little.

Overall, a nice shot which fits the theme well.

I never knew what Witchhazel looked like. Now I get the name. I think this would have been improved if you had chosen a few blooms for subject and got closer. The bloom out of focus in the upper right and the piece of bloom in the upper left corner are distracting. The bokeh background is wonderfully done. Good luck.

Interesting tree composition but I think Waldo could have been better camoflauged using the great light you had.
