Thanks for all who took the time to vote and especially to comment. It feels good to have a high placed shot -- I haven't had the time needed to put into a photo in some time (not that I have it now lol). Mary and Cher -- big thanks for selecting it as a favorite.

I cannot get enough of those magnolias :)

So THIS was yours...I've been wondering. Now I just have to laugh since we both mentioned that each others were "one of our favorites of the challenge." I guess we both have good taste. :-)

Lovely shot. The bokeh is great and the earth tones contrast great with the vibrancy of the flower.

8 - Nice. Like to see more texture detail in the petals as well (and even more in the sepals etc), but difficult I realize. Nice colors and composition.

Weird how it looks like fur isn't it? I like close ups such as this. Very pretty. Nice DOF and the detail is spectacular. 8

Beautiful textures, color, and composition. The pink really stands out against the otherwise dull and monotonic color. Nice bokeh as well. One of my favorites of the challenge.
