Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club

First Impression: A good shot but don't like the border and would have prefered more negative space, on my monitor whilst there is plenty of pink the reds seem to be dominant.

Composition: I think this type of shot would be better received following the rule of thirds and would need more negative space around the subject.

Subject:The 3 stages of the Cherry Blossom work well and nice and pink but the overall feeling is of red. If the main blossom was larger in the image with more space to the right (without the border) this would have worked better for the challenge I tink.

Technical: Am confused by your choice of settings, F/13 and a 15 second exposure? not sure what lighting you had but at F/13 the entire image should have been in sharp focus and most of it is quite soft on my monitor.

Final thoughts:A good shot and whilst I like the subject and drops I think it would be better if it was sharper with more negative space around the main subjects.

Really pretty but your border cuts too near the image. Love the water drops.

Nicely composed, but says more red than pink to me.
