This is my original cherry blossom photo taken in 2004 in Washington D.C.  It's leaning over the Potomac River. 
I cropped the picture and played around with it a bit, putting it on a canvas background to make it look like a painting.
I wanted a bit more of a painted, abstract look to the picture. 
This one, I can't decide on.  I overlayed a second picture of the blossoms and nudged it a bit and applied a bit of a blur to the picture.

Working with an old photograph, I tried different 'styles' on the same picture.
