These are indeed some gorgeous flowers, Bob - really envy you having them out so early. I love the tones you've got here - especially the subtle creamy whites - though I do find this image a touch difficult to get a handle on composition-wise compared with the previous ones.

Nice peek at the center Bob. The colors in the petals are very nice.

Good representative color on these. A crop from the left to take out the hole in the LLC might help to balance this up, composition wise.

Robert:

The magnolias at my local park this year have been rather disappointing due to the unseasonal weather we are having. Many have dropped their petals before peak bloom time. I like the color and tone you have captured here especially the center of the flower. However the composition is a little busy and the bg is a little intrusive. A shallow DOF may work better here
