Magnolia

A magnolia bloom, conveniently with 1 petal faded and collapsed, shows its

inner parts. Shot with a 70-200mm f4 for FOV and background.

Excellent detail, DOF, and texture in the white petals. Great shot! Mike

Mike, thanks for the comments. This is my 1st posting, having been recommended to here by a friend. Still figuring out how this site works!!!

Well, there's tremendous talent here (just an amateur myself), but from your images you'll do great. If your friend didn't tell you, don't let the anonymous raters get under your skin, take anything anonymous for what it's worth. Now, on a positive note, and 99% of this site is positive, there's someone here that can help you with any photo issue, and there are plenty of the rest of us :-) that will enjoy your postings.... Mike
