Lilas (Lilac)

Lilacs (Syringa) are a genus of plants, in the family Oleaceae, native to Europe and Asia. Lilacs range in size from large shrubs to small trees, 2-10 m tall. The leaves are opposite, deciduous, and in most species simple and heart-shaped, but pinnate in a few species (e.g. S. laciniata, S. pinnatifolia). The flowers are produced in spring, each flower about 1 cm diameter, white, pale pink or more generally purple, with four petals. The flowers grow in large panicles, and in several species have a strong fragrance. Flowering starts after 80-110 growing degree days.

Hi Alain, very nice image. I like the soft feel to it, it's very easy on the eye and goes very well with pastel colours. It's a beauty.

This is lovely Alain.

The texture of these flowers make me want to touch the petals...

Hi Alain,
This is a very nice picture.
Well composed, good POV and well exposed. I like the colours too. Maybe you could add some USM for it.

Ce gros plan est très impressionnant. Bonne netteté et bonne exposition. La profondeur de champs est un peu faible. Les couleurs sont bien saturées. Bravo.
