Spring Leaves of Chinese Chicquapen - Greenhill Cemetery

I like to use the Carolina blue sky for a background color for the leaves in the fall and spring. Sunday I went to the tree walk at the Greenhill Cemetery.  The tree identification information was given by Doug Goldman, PhD Botanist with the FDA based in Greensboro, NC.   It was a bright sunny day about 2 PM EDST.
I had some difficulty reading the LED screen to know if the images were in focus.  I picked 2 different images of a tree I think is a Chinese Chicquapen  Images were taken with my P600 Nikon Compact Camera.  The left image is of the leaves and fronds with the blue sky.  The right image was a close up of the leaves and fronds. PSE Elements was used to edit the images-brightness, contrast, highlights and some minimal sharpening.
