Shot this at a park called Willowood in Chester NJ. In the spring they have a nice collection of blooming magnolias.
Used a mild PB darkened the backround and added detail with Topaz detail
Beautifully done, Dave...rich colors, love how the leading line of the branch curls effortlessly into the bloom then out along the petals....the background is muted blend of charcoal greys that really compliment the image...I'm a little jealous...have yet to capture an image of a magnolia that I like....this one is striking!
