I always enjoy trying to capture the gentle rippling of the petals of the stellata magnolia as the breezes catch them.

Very nice, Ian. Beautiful subject. I think I'd prefer not having the center blocked by the upturned petal, but having the view of the center partially hidden makes the comp more unique, which is a plus. Exposure and colors look very good.

Lovely! It reminds me of a Georgia O'Keefe painting, although she exaggerated the shadows more. Probably wouldn't hurt to take a look at what this would look like with the shadows goosed a bit.

Plenty of light, low contrast, a pictorial look. I love the photo Ian.
