I love the sharpness of the center surrounded by the swirl of the leaves, Yun. I think you could safely crop this to a 4:5 - losing some of the top and it may be an even stronger photo. I wish to have the chance to shoot some magnolia sometime!

I love the repost too Yun. The original was great, but I think the repost is better! Excellent!
