Cherry Blossom
Look for repeating patterns. They are all around us. Repartition of the same subject, the same shape, the same color can result in an interesting image. They don’t have to be all exactly alike; the mind’s eye needs to interpreter them as the same.
This image was taken last week a Balboa part in Encino California. The cherry blossoms are spectacular this time of year. The low morning light adds shape to the branches of the trees while illuminating the strong colors of the flowers. There is a pattern of trees that leads us back into the scene. The photographer has elected to look through the grove rather than full face along a front which we have seen so often.
I might make one suggestion to the photographer. There is a small, skinny tree along the right hand edge that takes away from the pattern of the other trees. Perhaps this could be cloned out. This will allow our eye to follow the natural path of the patter to the left. You might also experiment with the saturation of the color. It is nice the way it is but with our expectation we can enhance even nature’s best efforts. As you can see I am not a purest.

Both your suggestions are well taken. In fact, I already removed a trash can that was just to the left of the tree you removed. The window of beauty for the blossoms is quite brief measured in terms of days. That morning was near the peak of bloom.
