Seems like you are do for another comment. As I said a couple of years ago, this remains my favorite photo on TLF. A real work of art.

I love how you showed you don't need color to make a picture absolutely stunning! I love all the shadow and the bright whites.

I love all of your magnolia and calla lily pictures! They are beautiful. Do you sell them at all. I am looking for a big magnolia print to go in my living room and this would be perfect. They are my favorite flower and my daughter is going to be named after it....do you sell your prints by chance?

Great job on the editing and lighting of this image. Couldn't think of a grander way of displaying this beautiful flower than your photo.

I really love the simplicity but eye catching magnolia. It's very calming.
