The star magnolias are the only ones in town this year. Difficult to get a clean presentation of one, much less of a branch. Great job!

Lovely - nice detail and great grouping. I have yet to find more than a single bloom I'm happy with. Tough to photograph the star magnolias.
Beautiful image!

The exposure job on the constellation is perfect, as is your composition choice- The dark BG works well on this image- A very pleasant and graphic image, Fabio

A very impressive, beautiful photo Ian. The triangle laying on the base creates a very quiet mood. The composition, light and colors are splendid.
Take care.
