Washington C D.C. Tidal Basin cherry trees
This is another of the photos that I have used for the kigo article. It is almost too tourist postcardish, but it's grown on me. Currently the photo is only used in the Kigo, and List of kigo articles. USDA photo by Scott Bauer. Image Number K5876-11. The same photographer also took a very nice closeup of the cherry blossoms: Image:Cherry tree blossoms.jpg. Blank Verse  &empty;  15:32, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Oppose Sky an unnatural blue. --Fir0002 06:55, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree with you; the pictures is quite well-much altered, however, why is then unnatural has to do? Its what pleases the eye, and you have to be flexible to please yourself. Slivester 11:49, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't want to sound rude, but is English really your native language? Coz you're sounding like master Yoda, but a lot worse. Anyway, I think your saying that post processing shouldn't be a reason to be against a photo. And I agree with you, but it has to be processed so that it doesn't look unnatural. In this case the blue doesn't please the eye, instead, it jars. --Fir0002 02:19, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * Trying adding the missing words into the sentence. And yes, English is my native language. We speak another variant of English over here. Slivester 4 July 2005 06:16 (UTC)

 * Oppose The sky does not match the water. If a better photo editor worked with the original, then I'd like to see this featured. --Slac 28 June 2005 19:21 (UTC)
