We are getting a warm winter this year, so sakura will be blooming faster too.
Here are not the common type of sakura in Japan (somei yoshino) but the winter sakura (kanzakura)

this is one type that is still a bud (yuko)

I like the colours in #1, but it's too OOF for my liking.
#2 is great, it jumps out at you. Very well done.

I'd go along with scrumpy the OOF buds in #1 are just too distracting. #2 great.

thank you for the comment!

I think i'm obsessed with OOF/bokeh shot when it comes to flowers.
