Spring blossoms on a stormy morning C&C

Snowgirl

Early the other day I saw storm clouds rolling through while the sun was rising and illuminating this apple tree across the road. I didn't have a lot of time to plan the shot but C&C is, of course, always welcome.

Cici, this one isn't really working for me I'm afraid. The main subject is the flowered tree, but it appears to be somewhat overexposed and the colors are washed out. Also, the comp isn't really working for me. I think it would have been better to have shot this from further back to include more of the structure of the tree and it's environment. That would have also shown more of that beautiful sky.

And of course, my own particular pet-peeve is the huge centered watermark which is a real distraction.

Thanks for the comments. The flowered tree may be overexposed, or it may be my processing - will have to go back and take another look. The sky was very intimidating that morning for sure - with one break that allowed the sun through.
