Its a hawthorn tree in an overgrown back garden in IrelandTime
It was around 4 o'clock, the sun sets just right of this photographLighting
It was a cloudy day as usual in Ireland, but that created a well balanced lighting around the flower which I like because it shows a lot of different tones between white and yellow. I feel because it was a cloudy day it defined the shapes more, I find the natural colours beautiful, the green white and gold of Ireland.Equipment
This was taken with an iPhone 7, hopefully I will get a better camera soon. I held the branch in place with my other hand because it was windy.Inspiration
I was up in the garden a few days before taking this photo planting a branch from a tree that had fallen. It wasn't my intention to take these photos and in fact I didn't know that there would be such a beautiful flower, which I know now as a hawthorn tree. I was checking if my branch was growing, and I spotted all these beautiful white flowers, it was a beautiful suprise. The 10 minute task ended up as an hour adventure taking photos of all kinds of nature.Editing

All I had was my phone in my pocket, and wet legs from sitting on the damp groundFeedback
Have patience, In this photo I liked the form of the branch, how it moved from bottom centre to the top left, shapes are always intriguing and the two blossomed flowers are over at their own side, almost popping out of the photograph. Experiment its all trail and error, if you have the vision you will achieve
