This is my first magnolia of the year. I arrived in Virginia last night. I'm a little early for magnolias but luckily I found this huge one right off the bat. It is larger than my granddaughters head....hair and all. I know there will be more. I took this one with a 70-300 lens on my old 5D. Here's an old Virginia song....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffP4ylPwL_A .......Thanks in advance for any comments. ENJOY!

Oh, this is good. It is difficult to capture so much white in all it's detail but this is perfect exposure. Perfect texture in the petals.

It's so perfect that it looks like a painting. It must smell heavenly.

Jen - Mint juleps at four on the veranda! Lighting is spot on here with an exquisite exposure of this showpiece bloom. Very well done! Thad
