Illusion Of Spring

Here...here...nearly end of autumn, but I show you my illusion of spring....

I shoot this picture a few weeks ago, in October of a female cardinal on the tree.
The result of my editing; the foliage in the background look like cherry blossoms... sakura.

I wanted to express that sad feeling, when the colors are slowly disappear before winter, but in our heart, spring still can be felt...like a little hope for a better future......




Any thoughts? How is my picture make you feel?
