This is a very interesting photo for sure. The foreground is sharp. The shadow is what takes this photo from good to great.
You had a very good eye to capture this unique image, very well done.

    Thank you SO much Allan, for your great review and high rating!
    I'd gone out to photograph the magnolias as I know they don't last long, and couldn't believe my luck when I spotted the shadow behind this one! I did take quite a few shots as you can imagine, but only on processing them realised that the flower needed to be aligned inside the shadow to get the full affect and not be lost against the similar colour of the wall.

This shot shows how observant you are, to capture the flower growing out of the trunk and capturing the shadow. Very nicely taken with excellent focus , clarity and positioning in the frame. Good luck in the contest.

    Thank you very much Michelle! It's one of the things I love with photography, trying to spot things that many may pass by without even noticing!

Magnolia trees are so lovely. Your dine capture is really interesting! I love the concept with the shadow. That is really cool.
I have a huge magnolia tree but it never blooms more than two or three flowers.
Love your capture

    Thank you SO much Jewell, for your wonderful review and of course that extra little star!
    I'll have to ask my friend what they do with their magnolias as they have a few and they were all just covered with flowers - if I find out I'll let you know.

Interesting one with the shadow as that almost looks like a bee in flight,having said that this still would have been okay but seeing the shadow just adds a bit of extra interest....Brian

A good looking image posted here together with relevant notes too! Your fine and classical composition gives us an enjoyable view of that lovely bloom and it's location. Sharpness and exposure are good. Well done and good luck!
