Magnolia

The scent of this magnolia as I walked past it was absolutely amazing. It was crying out to have its photo taken.

It certainly was calling out to you!

[Angela]

Lovely focus. Is it worth doing a white balance correction to take out the grey caste?

[Angela Tavan]

Beautiful flower - always worth photographing.

@joluise @angelar @angelat @sunraye Thanks so much for commenting and sorry for the late reply too. Things aren't too good here at the moment. Hope it all improves again soon. Thanks Angela for the correction suggestion, but I am not going to exhibit this photo anywhere else or I would have changed it. The grey caste is because the flower was in the middle of a huge magnolia bush and the grey is from the shadows made from the leaves.
