Kagoshima. I went yesterday to check the cherry blossoms next to my home but most of them didn't have any flowers yet. Just a few trees were starting...
Thank you very much for all your comments.
You can see the same picture in bigger size and better resolution on my new blog.

I can't believe it!!!!!! No flowers yet????? We're worried here that rain is going to cause the petals to scatter.Under my balcony there's a white road stretching on top of the cherry trees.

@Japanalia: Even beeing south from Yokohama cherry blossoms seems to be late here. Last year I took my first picture on the 1st of april...

Akarui, indeed! Those buds look ripe enough to burst into bang-up blooms. The perspective and selective focus is dashingly executed.

This is a great shot. Full of life and energy. It even features the promise of more energy. Good eye!

Tu sais vraiment jouer avec la profondeur de champs, les résultats sont toujours créatifs. C'est quelque chose qu'il va falloir que je développe...
Il ne semble pas y avoir beaucoup de soleil et pourtant les couleurs sont "pétantes" (un peu titiller les courbes de contraste sans doute?)

@Evelyne Dubos: Merci Evelyne. En effet j'ai pris cette photo en fin de journee. Je crois que c'est une espece de pecher pour avoir des bourgeons aussi roses. Je rajoute rarement de la saturation mais c'est vrai que lorsque l'on assombrit les ombres avec la courbe les couleurs tendent a s'accentuer.

Nice. I like the restraint on this one. Shooting this in full bloom would have been a giveaway :)

Les couleurs sont exceptionnelles...
Ce rose éclatant devant cet arrière-plan un peu sombre...
