Thank you all for commenting.

I think this version is an improvement. You have brought more life into the flower while maintaining the subtle and somewhat somber feel of the original. Nice work.

I agree, That is why I love this site, Nice job. Great macro.

This version is much better. White is hard to handle sometimes,you have done a great job with it in post.

 

Kind regards, Anne & Runar :-)

Thank you all for taking the time to comment. I think this one is much better for my intentions.

Very well done, great elegance!...Ciaomau!

like a dream of satin and silk, beautiful image Liz, well done !

Nice eye catching work.

Liz, I quite agree with the many excellent comments that this beautiful image has received. An advice? Well the white is so nice that I would clone the yellow spot in the back petal.

Bravo!

Thank you all for checking in on this image. I love that so many talented photographers made time to help me get better.

Thank you for this one, Liz. The southern magnolia is one of my favorite trees--and this is the way the blossoms really look.

Thank you, Lannie, for stopping by. It's a "southern thing" to me.

This is definitely better and more lively. Best regards.

Thank you, Sumon, for taking the time to comment.
