Another from this weekends magnolia venture. I wanted to capture not just the beginning and the bloom, but also the beauty throughout. I hope I am not carrying this too far, please let me know. It was just a great weekend to be out with my better half enjoying creation at its finest.

Robert - You have near about covered the life cycle of the Magnolia flower pretty much. Exciting Series !!. Really like this one too - but would have liked the rear petal included in the frame.

Bob, another beautiful magnolia from your "kitchen". I like the great details and the soft light. Only nit (IMO) is a tight crop on the top. More space would be nice, Well done.

Robert:
Your magnolia series has been fabulous, all beautifully and presented. Agree with Ram and Miro about more space at the top.

Great details in the center of the bloom and lovely shapes in the arching petals. The added space at the top of the repost helps a lot.

Hi Robert

Wow

A lot of work cloning the top of the image, but well worth the effort

I enjoyed your magnolia series, and found the detail and color on all your work excellent

A beautiful series, and this one fits very well. I like the light and the detail in the center. The comp is just as well done.
