Beautiful magnolia blossom. Great dof and clarity in the flower. The white are also handled very well.

Very nice! I love the angle you got on this gorgeous flower, & the lighting is great! I am not super excited about the large fuzzy frame however...it is a bit distracting to me from the the beautiful image you have here.

Great job with with details, the lighting and the composition. The flower center really stands out as it's nestled in the white petals.
