This looks just like your icon. This must have beeen close! At first I thought you had done a manip job in PS but the leaves look to natural. Great image.

I just gave this a 10 in the voting booth and I had to come out to save it and to see who did this extraordinary job...why did it not surprise me it was yours? I love that something "more" you give to your pics. :)
Spectacular is definitely the right word for it and Grandiflora fits succinctly too. White is my favorite color flower too and this one is so beautiful. I'm going to fav it.
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.

I know! We have a Magnolia tree I've been waiting on to bloom as well, and I hope to try and get some photos as well...though I doubt they will compare to this beauty! Awesome job, simply perfect!
This is just absolutely magnificient!! How sweet this magnolia looks. Gosh I miss those huge flowers from Louisiana. I lived near them for 14 years...and you have certainly captured the purity and beauty of this grand flower...I can almost smell it.
It's so beautiful...thank you so very much.Verena
This is my favorite of the three in the series so far. I love the symmetry and the creamy perfection of the blossom as well as the satiny elegance of the leaves. Super shots.
