I have been so happy, since I planted my first "Little Gem" magnolia 30 years ago. I planted this one at our home about 15 years ago. Here is an up close and personal photo of the center.

Lucy: I like your POF/DOF choice and this intimate view. My only suggestion would be to somehow fill in the URC by either painting in the white of the petals (my first choice) or cropping the small dark triangle in the corner. A gem indeed. >=))>

This is a really nice perspective Lucy, like looking into a secret place. I really like the soft whites surrounding the little tentacles in the center of the blossom.

Lucy, I agree with Bill, mostly. The armchair quarterback in me says a bit more of the petals in focus would be nice.
