Beatiful alternitive view and great details. Seems to be B&W picture but on the other hand it seems to have some other tones also?

I love that you've chosen to show the blossoms from beneath:-) A nice reminder that we needn't always peer into a blossom to appreciate its beauty...

It took me a while to realize it was not a B&W photo. Great shot!

Beautiful. Everything works so well in this shot - the composition, cropping, tones, lightning... A perfect image...

Wow... at first, I thought - you can't take a picture of magnolias in B&W - they are so beautiful and pink! (or white I guess, but I think of them as pink). but this is just so beautiful, I've come back to look at it several times and each time I think, yeah, as B&W it is a very peaceful photograph.

the buds are tiny sentient faerie beings while the wide blanche opaque petals are its wings
sun shines in sapporo

Very nice the way the flowers blend into the background. Gives the photo a really tranquil feel.

I have to agree with everybody else...It's a really great photo, almost graphic like some one mentioned. Lovely.

The picture is delicate and beautiful, like the tree.

Beautiful shot, magnolias are so amazingly pretty and the b&w really is a good choice here...
Posted by: flygirl at May 10, 2005 2:17 PM
Gorgeous. I love how the branches create a really strong sense of movement in the amazing floral shot.
Posted by: Sara at May 11, 2005 2:52 PM
I love the translucence of the petals!
