Pink Flowers

In this photograph I captured flowers from a cherry tree during spring time. What I like about this picture is how bright, and colorful the flowers are. However, what I don't like about this picture is the placement of the flowers. I don't like how there is a lot of negative space in the bottom right corner of the photograph. 

Before I took this picture I made sure all my settings were how I wanted them to be. Since the sun was at it's highest point when I took this photograph I had to make sure I didn't have my settings to allow a lot of light into the lens. I set my exposure at F 5.6 and my shutter speed at 1/640. The focus is  very strong in this photograph because all the flowers are in focus instead of just the first couple of flowers.

I took this picture because my friends and I happened to be taking pictures for our graduation party at our capital building. I saw this cherry tree and loved how pink the flowers were. I also photoshopped this photograph so the flowers are not exactly that pink. What I think can be improved in this photograph is the angle I captured the flowers in.
