a touch of color
swaying buds

I'm not sure what kind of flower these will eventually become, but when I saw these buds, they were being blown mercilessly in the wind, holding on for dear life so that their inner beauty could eventually have a chance to shine.

I like the moment for best contrast between the buds and their background. And also how the leaves enhance the moving suggestion in their composition. Well done!

I like the way they are leaning so sweetly in the wind you describe.

beautifully soft and delicate, I like the contrast between the bauble buds and sharp leaves.
