Magnolias! That soft pink is wonderful. And that green, too. And the way the grey twigs support the FG & the BG. If the bud on the L was in focus, I'd give it a 10.

Oooh-ooooh! You should give a lesson to the person that took the photo I commented on a few shots back with similar subject matter. This is exquisite! Wonderful lighting, focus, and DOF. I like the color tones too. Bravo! Good luck in the challenge.

A nice representation of Spring. Perhaps a green backdrop would have given this more life.
