What a lovely splash of pink the tree gives. It's a real spring picture. I like the inclusion of the long wall and the roof in the background. Nothing dominates the picture, yet it all pulls together and everything has it's part to play.

The pink of the tree together with the orange from the structure are a wonderful color combination. The bits of pattern on the edges of walls and roofs carry the eye throughout the lower part of the image and the tracery and pattern of branches do the same in the upper part of the composition. As Cat said it all comes together beautifully.
