For this picture I used f/5.6, ISO 200, 55 mm, on a Canon XTi in front of the library downtown. The histogram is fairly balanced, but a little more towards the dark end than the light end. It was cloudy, so I thought a higher ISO would work better and would move my histogram further to the right, but anything higher than 200 looked washed out. I was trying to get just a few of the blossoms in focus with the rest of the tree and background blurry, which I think worked really well. I really like the position of the main blossoms in the frame, but I wish the blossoms on the right weren't there, since they take away some of the focus of the picture.
