I love magnolias! They smell so exquisite! And I have a ‘Susan’ magnolia in a large pot which I got to remember my lovely dog, Susan, by. It has the most lovely, slender, magenta flowers on it.
Beautifully composed with great colors and detail. I love the shallow DoF here giving attention to the magnolias in the foreground, while still knowing what exists in the background.
This is so funny, Kala. I just studied all the 100 or so entries and picked yours for composition not knowing it was from you. We must be on the same wavelength when it comes to photography. Once again, your photo is superb!
Happy Macro Monday.
