Hi Robert

Beautifully composed

The symmetrical structure of the petals is fascinating! The color tones and BG add to the quality of this capture

Nice habitat shot, Robert

. I see a slight shake or wind induced movement making the frame a little soft but other than that a nice take on the Magnolias.

Very nice. My grandmother had one in her back yard. This makes me think of her. Thank you.
