As beautifull as one could ever expect from you Adrian. This is what facinates me with macro photography. It opens up new doors and show us things we would never have studied as carefully withou it. Central composiiton works really well here, as does the high exposure of the petals. Magnolias are one of my favorite flowers. So beautifull.

Wow Adrian, what a beautifull presentation of the wonders of nature. I love the symmetry, light, sharpness, and almost fragile tones of color. The "hart" of the flower realy comes out of the composition, very good work!

Btw: I also like your sign, it is not disturbing the overall presentation.

fenomenally beautiful Adrian! wow.. this is such a wonderful macro that really compliments the sensitivity of your lovely note.. i adore magnolias and in England we had a stunning one in our garden and many others throughout Oxford that used to bring me such joy.. that gentle white beautiful bloom blushed with pink was such a delight and these wonderful trees seemed to bloom for most of march.. wheras here i spotted my first magnolia a little over 2 weeks ago and last weekend they had already lost their flowers.. :-( i miss spring in oxford so much... especially now i've become so enthused with photography and i realize how much of the place i never shot! damn.. you don't realize what you've got till it's gone that's for sure...

well enough homesick rambling! thanks for posting the photographic masterpiece Adrian! i trule adore it.. ^_^ and.. keep posting with us here on TL! TE shouldn't get you all to themselves.. ihih :-)

Beautifully simple and simply beautiful!
An amazing macro shot Adrian, the delicate colour of the petals and the sharpness of the 'heart' of the flower is outstanding. Another of your great nature shots.

Your floral shots are always so good. I check here once in a while to see if I can learn some tips. This one is so sharp, and I like the way you used the radial gradiant. I haven't tried that yet on a flower. Magnolias are such a regal flower. Nice work as always.
