Hi Marianne, I have been AWOL for a while... just so busy, so want to slowly catch up on what I have missed.
Glad I didn't miss this one... your Magnolia is beautiful. I love the shapes and edges of your petals and nice sharpness, and your shadows and highlights are beautiful.
The stamen is rather different to the Magnolias I have seen and photographed here.
