I like these minimalistic shots a lot; reminds me of this one  which was, to my mind, terribly underated in the Rule of Thirds challenge. And magnolias are such beautiful willing subjects.
That said, this one doesn't work as well for me; here are my guesses as to why:
first, the pink doesn't pop in the same way. It stands out, to be sure, but it somehow doesn't spin my head around. Not sure why. It may be the darker bckground?
second, I think having the branch fade out of focus within the frame is very powerful; I think maybe for me the rest of your branch is a little too much in focus which draws my eye away from the bloom.
A really lovely picure, though, and of a style I wish we saw more of! |
