The story behind the image

As Monty Pythons would say: “And now for something completely different.”

Apple blossoms. Yes! I spotted them in spring in a garden near Munich, Germany. They looked beautiful, especially as the background was also showing branches of the same tree and some pink roses. A sea of pink.

I selected a wide aperture, probably f/1.4, to achieve that creamy, blurry bokeh look. A nice and versatile image that can be used in countless ways.

Whatever, I like it and hope you do, too. 🙂
