YES!  I was looking through my magnolia shots, but didn't find any that really grabbed me.  I'm really enjoying the "fluttering" aspect of the petals here, Ian.  The larger view really shows of the flower's center as well as the details in the whites.

Very nice image Ian!  Excellent detail throughout.  I like how you managed the light so well.  The wavy nature of the petals adds interest and your POV is just right.

A beautiful floral shot, Ian; especially in the large view.  The light is subtle but focused on the core which really draws your eyes there.  I like Mark's "fluttering" analogy as it does almost look like soft, flowing motion. Nicely done!
