Making hay while the sun shines - so to speak. Nice spring themed photo ops are a fleeting opportunity. Did a 360 around this gazebo shooting it in various combinations - forsythia, white cherry blossoms, pink cherry blossoms, purple magnolia, and dried up cattails. Chose this one primarily for the composition.
The challenge is to get things balanced and while this close to the foreground subject to get everything from front to back in focus - think hyperfocal distance with manual focus, wide focal length, and very small aperture.
