Description

I had the good fortune to get a chance to take pictures the other day. I decided to do a series of tree shots. The titles will be play with words as you will find out.
I am considering myself a pseudo-photographer at the moment since I have no knowledge of the technical aspect of the field. I love working with colours and that's basically what I did with them. For those who are not into strong tinctures/colours, my apology. Some of the entries have rather intense hues.
As always, any C&C will be appreciated

...here's the first one.

Flores de Mayo

Flores, from Spanish flores or "flowers," also known as Flores de Mayo (flowers of May), Flores de Maria (flowers of Mary) or alay (offering), may refer to the whole Flower Festival celebrated in the month of May in the Philippines to honour the Virgin Mary . This is my rendition of the festivities

Look pretty nice! Love the green contrast and the way the branch look bleu.
Nice shot!

Very strong colors! The horizontal panoramic view works really well. It's a very nice image.

Ahh, the trees of Daisen Park, not a moment goes by I don't think about taking a walk through that small patch of green within a city whose colours seem to be painted only by bright lights. Love the silhouette of the tree bows breaking up the luminescence of the sky, intersperced with green in a mosaic available only to those who raise their eyes to the heavens - I can smell the freshness in the air filling the void between my ears *chuckle*. A wonderful shot Maridol, can hardly wait to get home and enjoy the last of spring with you!

Thanks guys...

Mikael, this series will be full of strong/intense colours, I mentioned it in my description. Probably I should have put a warning sign that says: Please wear sunglasses when viewing them...LOL...

Edit: Yes Ian, that's at Daisen Park, would have been nice if you were there. But we have the future to look forward to! Still waiting for you to come home...

May is also our month to celebrate the spring.......
Reminds me an old song of Facundo Cabral....
"Yo te ofrezco las flores de Octubre, los vientos de Mayo y todo mi amor"
(El es Argentino así que su Octubre es Mayo para nosotros.)

Like everything about it (colours, composition and concept), except the frame which I'm in two minds about.... sometimes it feels right, sometimes i feel it gives too much emphasis to the blue in the image. I think i feel that as the blue is the 'surreal' element of the image, adding it to the border is kind of 'pushing it too hard'....
The image itself though is very dramatic.

It has the look of an abstract painting. Interesting effect!
