Default Camelia - Yellow Leaves and Feeding

During the Winter my Camelia had all green leaves but looking at it today
the top area leaves are turning yellow.

There are buds on the Camelia and I am wondering if I should now feed the
plant. The liquid feed that I use says to start in March. Also should I
remove the yellowing leaves ?

I have a link to pictures

Apologies for the quality but best I could manage from the camera.

I'll only repeat what Sacha suggested about trying sequestrene.
With acid loving plants, too much lime locks out the iron in
the soil (or something like that ) and the sequesetred iron
is recognised as a good tonic for all such plants in less
than ideal conditions. Although it does cost a bit. Your
pictures are fine IMO. If you use a site called Tinypic
http://tinypic.com/
you can host your photos from there. You just browse on
your computer to where the individual picture files
are, and upload them from there. The display times
are usually much faster as a result.
