saw this today. i haven't seen one like it before. thought it was pretty and that you might also apreciate it. i believe it's a hybrid. enjoy! (thanks in advance for any comments)
Swallowing my tongue at this elegant shot you've captured. Talk about contrast...and the warm, honey colored petals, dripping with beauty. This picture calls for attention, how pretty :)
This is so beautifully classic with the lovely soft yellow blooms against the black background. There is nothing to distract us, so we can stare into the faces of these elegant looking flowers. I bet they smelled great too!
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Hi JEn! This is sooooooooo beautiful! It's going right onto my desktop. The colour is magnificient! with that dark behind it, well, its definitely a photo that would be fantastic framed and hung on a special wall ! I would love to do a canvas painting of this one day. It's just too pretty for many words....lol..verena
Your photography of this blossom is as exceptional as the flower itself. You've certainly showed it off to its best advantage. Well done, Jen, and thanks for the addition to my personal floral collection.
Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

those are come beautiful magnolias. such a pretty yellow. amazing clarity and detail too. i like the black backrgound, my only problem with this is i wish that we could see a branch or something so that they are not just floating there. but thats just me. great capture! ~abby
