Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms,
On Meadow-hills and mountains
As far as you can see.
Is it a mist, or clouds?
Fragrant in the morning sun.
Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms,
Flowers in full bloom.

Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms,
Across the Spring sky,
As far as you can see.
Is it a mist, or clouds?
Fragrant in the air.
Come now, come,
Let’s look, at last!

Nikolai,

This is a great setup. So colorful and pleasant. She's athletic and her figure goes well with the delicate fabric and the both work to complement to the flowers. Could have been even wider angle.

What are the shot details and lighting used?


Asher

BTW, How long more will those flowers be there like that?

Asher, thank you!

It was a wider angle, I cropped it a little

Shot details and lighting: all natural light, Canon 5D Mark II + EF 70-200/2.8 IS USM (at 78mm), handheld, f/4 at 1/1600, ISO100

I think poppies will continue to get better, you can always check the official site, which says the peak is usually mid-April...
