Beautiful image Pat. I particularly like the way you handled the bg and the receding softness of the viewer's right side. Nice detail on the buds as well and perfect whites.

Just superb, Patricia ! Beautiful texture to the petals - you almost feel their softness - and a wonderful sweep across the frame from the fg to the bg leafage.

Patricia, it's not necessary that you write your name under this photo. It could be only your. Lovable grace and delicacy. Splendid.
Take care.

I have finally decided that peonies and magnolias are your special flowers. For me not so easy to capture. These are terrific.
