Williamsburg, Virginia, USA. After the bloom, this large seed pod forms, later to open and disperse. This was one of many of a huge tree, easily over one hundred years of age, on the grounds of Bassett Hall, the colonial-era house that the Rockefellers used when in Williamsburg. The Rockefellers were major benefactors, instrumental in the development of the restoration / recreation of buildings in Colonial Williamsburg, spending over $60 million.

That looks like a plant I might see at the Conservatory in the Toledo Zoo. Outstanding photo, Thad. Excellent color and clarity.

The shiny green leaves & the curlicues on the magnolia seed pod caught my eye. Beautifully captured, Thad.

You really got some great detail in this one Thad.
The macro lens has been a good one for you.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

This is an excellent capture with the lighting, focus, and detail. My neighbor has a magnolia tree (which leaves quite a mess on the ground, lol), but I've never seen the pods look as beautiful as this! Truly amazing.

Super camera work...the lighting is terrific ..the rich deep colouring of the leaves throws the main subject in the eye line!
