My motto this time: photo painting! My basis was the attached picture I had taken in Shinjuku. 

For taking the photo I waited until a day when the sun was very bright to catch the full beauty of my chosen object. In its origin, the picture has already a dynamic touch but it sticks to that tree, thus it can't take full effect. Those branches need to disappear! 

Instead of retouching, I continued with photo bashing to enable the floating character. I grabbed the digital brush and painted each and every single blossom. Yes, that took a while but in this step, I could make already decisions about dynamics and adjustments. In addition, I can accommodate freely any area, which allows me to create the image's expression. Finally, the blossoms that had been sticking to the tree can float away.
