This is from the Magnolia tree in my back yard. Took this last April.
The tree is late to bloom this year but has a lot of buds and I'm looking forward to bloom time.

Nikon D200 105mm Macro 1/80 sec at f/3.5 ISO 100
Adjusted brightness in LR4
Not cropped

Your comments and critiques are welcome.

Thanks for taking a look.

What an unusual but fascinating POV of this magnolia flower! You have found a great abstract comp with a nice flow to it. Well spotted and photographed, Sanjay.

Sanjay:

One of my fav flowers but also the most challenging one for me.

I like your POV here and the almost complete white surrounding. Can't wait to see more when they are in full bloom.
