Fallen petals


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Fallen petals
Fallen petals
Same tulip magnolia as a week ago. They are beautiful for a short time then shed all the petals and start to put on leaves. Just for fun the same radiant filter was applied to these petals as to the tree.

  Terrific image Marsha! These wonderful blooms are so fragile on the tree that you've prolonged their beautiful life on the ground :0)

  Beautiful, Marsha. I love the radiant filter effect -- it makes it so dreamlike. The composition is very strong and balances the soft petals so well.

  Thanks a bunch, Cathy. I took this because just 2-3 days earlier this tree was glorious and then all the petals dropped. Now it is totally bare with just a few green leaves started to come in.
