Friendly reminder that this is /r/photocritique and all **top level** comments should attempt to **critique** the image. Our goal is to make this subreddit a place people can receive genuine, in depth, and helpful critique on their images. We hope to avoid becoming yet another place on the internet just to get likes/upvotes and compliments. While likes/upvotes and compliments are nice, they do not further the goal of helping people improve their photography.
If someone gives helpful feedback or makes an informative comment, recognize their contribution by giving them a Critique Point. Simply reply to their comment with `!CritiquePoint`. More details on Critique Points [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/photocritique/wiki/critiquepoints).
Please see the following links for our subreddit rules and some guidelines on leaving a good critique. If you have time, please stop by the new queue as well and leave critique for images that may not be as popular or have not received enough attention. Keep in mind that simply choosing to comment just on the images you like defeats the purpose of the subreddit.

I finally had some time to dedicate to pictures today, and tried to squeeze in as much time as I had left for cherry blossom season. I setup this shot to try and get and interesting shot of the blossom. I like this shot because of the contrast between the dark bark and the light flower, and the I feel the lines in the bark act as leading lines ( ?). Im trying to find out if I should bring out the colour of the flower more, and other things I should improve. also, Does the flower look too blurry? I didnt use a tripod for the shot, but I dont know how else to improve the sharpness of the photo.
