  Welcome back Carla!! I am glad you are getting better!! I like this one, the colors are great and I think you did a good job with the focus. What kind of flower is this?

  It's so good to see your creations again Carla. Beautifully balanced with just a touch of crisp focus to tickle the senses. Very nice.

  Yes, welcome back. Sometimes the pain is when you can't do want you love more than the pain of the injury itself. I love pink and I love the dark pink that flows into the light. Just lovely:)

  Great composition with great leading lines. If this is "shakey" for you, I'm way out-classed!

  I love the lead in line with the focused petal pushing my eye right to the stamens. Also love the shades of pink and to echo B9th S. what type of flower is this?

Carla Capra Anderson
  Thank you all.
I've missed my hobby, which Sue has described well, and participating.
Beth and Kristin this is a pink magnolia. My parents have also called it a tulip tree.
Jeanine, when my parent's tree starts flowering I know spring is around the corner. The tree is bare of leaves and all you see are these large gorgeous flowers.

  Glad to see you picking up the camera...you go girl! :~) I can't see any shakes in this one...you nailed a focus on a super narrow DOF! I love the composition on it too. I think it could use brightened up a tad though.

  I hadn't recognized this as a tulip tree. I was down in your neck of the woods (or orchards) last weekend. I'm kicking myself now. I passed up opportunities for orchard blossoms and for these tulip trees blossoms.

  O this is a tulip tree??? We have them here and they don't look like this. This looks more like the magnolia trees my neighbor has.

Peter W. Marks
  The Liriodendron (popular name 'Tulip tree') is been hybridized (is that a word?)so they don't necessarily have the pink blossom we see in Carla's fine image. We see them in some folk's yard around here but in one of Mother Nature's strange quirks they come into bloom too early and invariably get hit by late frosts so we only get to enjoy them for a short time.
Welcome back Carla.

  Hi Carla, Be sure to tell your Doc you got a finalist when you first picked up your camera after surgery.
Huge Texas congratulations and I bet this helps the healing.
