I love the high key BG and the yellow from the blooms is very nice. I think it works well. This feels like a good basis for a Japanese style painting.

Perfect in every way. I think you could print this out just as it is, and very large, including the black pinstripe border, and put it on the wall.

A beautiful photo of a beautiful flower. I have never seen here Magnolias with a gold color.

Certainly a Japanese feel to this. Maybe its the arrangement or the colours ( or the fact that they are magnolias !!
