Magnolia.
taken on a parking on the autoroute/Highway
to Paris, where I had to pickup friends coming back from Portugal with cartrouble ( I have a special trailer behind my car)
During a needed stop for a coffee ( and something else) these beautifull flowers bloomed in full bloom. Hope you like it.

Nice details and subtle colors. Effective border and good crop for a well balanced composition.
You hung on to this shot for quite some time before posting: what else are you hiding?
Cheers

Hi Rob,
Magnolias are rare here, cause our too hard climate. But thanks to your photo, I have the pleasure to admire them. Very beautiful image with delicate colors and a sweet filtered light. Bravo! Annie

A favourite flower of mine. Excellent capture. It looks very soft and fragile.

I hope you didn't water the magnolia Rob :). Excellent capture, good natural colour and fine detail. TFS,

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Fashion’

Hello Rob,
This is a very nice macro of this flower. You caught excellent details in a nice POV and composition. My only nit is this noise seen, espcially in BG... Anyway, this is a very nice post. Thanks,

Hi Rob - A happy new year to you. These magnolias are lovely, I like the soft delicate colours, the DOF, and the positioning of the blossom just a tiny bit off-center. Well done! - Cheers, Cordelia

Hello Rob

I like the softness in this picture. The wite line around the frame adds a touch of delicacy. It's nice to have nice flowers along the autoroute. At least when your car breaks down you have something nice to look at while waiting for the towing.

Hi Rob,
als ik mijn hoofd een beetje draai zit ik tegen een gigantisch grote magnolia aan te kijken met de ochtendzon erop. Dus ik stap zo even naar buiten voor een foto.
Ik zie wel dat ik niet net zoals jij in de hartjes kan kijken, dat maakt jouw foto wel erg mooi.

Nice to meet you rob,

Hi Rob,
The first pink magnolia I've seen! (All seem to be white in my area.) A very nice capture and placement of this graceful blossom in the frame.
Take care,
Karen

Hi Rob,
Great photo of this mediterranean / subtropical tree. Maybe the camera should have been moved left a bit, in order not to crop the other flower on the left + to place the main theme more right. But otherwise I like Your image, in spite of the closest, unsharp petals. Tfs, regards, László
