A rainy dreary day in the Philadelphia area, we went over to my sisters in Mediia, PA to help on a few projects. She has a magnolia tree in her side yard where I took this picture. View Large.

Completely sooc

I love how the lighting is hitting the petals, and the drops of water. Great shot!

Very good lighting - was it cloudy or just in the shade? Love the DOF on this - just the right amount of focus.

This is the first photo I posted where everything was completely manual, normally I set the f-stop and the ISO and let the camera do the rest.
