Spring in New England can be discouraging in that it never seems to come. Winters in Connecticut are not severe; they're just looooooong. The weather's been raw and damp and grey. Outside the library, this magnolia seemed to sense it was time to bloom by the calendar, but didn't have the courage to open up all the way when the temps still dip below freezing at night. What I like about the image is the texture: the soft crumpled surface of the blossom and the fuzz on the grey part that protected the bud. Filters didn't do much for this image. Using Grain enhances the textures, but it's subtle.
A fine emergence indeed.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot. Magnolias are so pretty. Lovely colors and textures.
ReplyDeleteIt's really a nice, soft picture that makes me wonder what it will look like once it unfolds.
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice image that didn't need much in the way of post processing. That happens sometimes! :-)
