Very beautiful Magnolia! The magenta and white flower looks really nice with dark green background. Diffused soft light and square format made calm and elegant image. The bud is a good setoff. White tone of the petals is excellent.

Naofumi, thanks so much for your kind post . This is one of my favorite flowers to photograph. Some of my favorite memories are of my visit to Japan, the simplistic approach to nature and the thoughtful kindness of the people I met there.

Very nice compositional arrangement! There is a strange area in the UL, above the bud.

Thanks Diane, I initially placed a blur over the entire image then removed it just over the flower and buds. It appears that I removed it also over what looks like another bud? ? Thank I might try to clone it out.

Your repost is perfectly stunning. No critiques or suggestions for improvment.
