As if the whole picture is built up of lighting dots, subtle and light, wonderful! You know the French Painters' school of pointillisme? 'That's what it made me think of!

@Illuci: Thank you,Eric, for this great comment! I applied a glowing filter to the image to make it look dreamy!
I really love this. Magnificent lightness throughout so that everything is floating. Aren't we lucky to have the sakura every year?!

@GJC: We are, indeed! And if I managed to render the "floating world" feeling I'm only too happy! Thank you!
lovely! where'd you shoot this fine scene?

@timothy sullivan: Shinjuku Gyoen, Tokyo......but not this year! According to the weather forecast by April 1st the gardens are going to be at their best!
How beautiful and soothing. Love the reflections. A wonderful capture.

Bonjour,
Très belle photo pour ce début de printemps qui m'offre la joie de vous écrire :
Perdu dans l’éternité, le temps du printemps est revenu autour de l’étang pour régénérer la soif d’aimer.
Triomphant de la mort, il revient crier en profondeur son envie de marquer les coeurs de son immortalité.
Nous qui l’avons attendu tout l’hiver sous l’horizon, nous recevons de bon coeur l’esprit de sa beauté.
Bien à vous et bon week-end de Pâques, amicalement, Marie. © La Poétaniste

The blossoming tree mirrored in the water looks fantastic, Gabriela. Your photos are showing us the most beautiful side of Japan.

I miss that one...This is really a beautiful picture Japanalia. I love it. As the weather was cloudy the picture looks a little flat and adding a bit of contrast might improve it. Very well done anyway.

@akarui: The weather was not cloudy! I added a softening glow filter to realize the dreamy atmosphere. There will be always a difference between what a the person who takes the shot intends and what the viewer sees and understands.And THIS is the fun of it all! Thank you for the visit and comment! Gabriela
I love it!
