Many many congratulations on being donor of the day (sometime back, I know)! In this shot the criss-cross pattern created when the background and foreground interact is very good. Detail and softness on the blossom are perfect. Well done!

Susie, I have to fav this! I love star magnolias! My mum has one... it's in the background in one of my photos
http://www.usefilm.com/Image.asp?ID=856258
... back when we had a promise of Spring too! 
I look forward to when her magnolia has these fluffy bunny tails again. This is a wonderful close up, Susie! I love the diagonal composition and the dof.

I wouldn't have known that this is supposed to be a future magnolia (a flower I love so much!!!) and I would have gone with the pussywillow! A great thing that you gave us an explanation!I love the background! And you made me wonder about our magnolias here, so I'm going to have a closer look!
Best regards,

Thanks so much Ann. I know what you mean, I love to see one of my friend's images on the front page too.
I told Kathy I was tempted to rename the image Natures Paintbrush, and would have if I didn't have the title on the photo. I knew there was some reason I shouldn't put text on there. Grrrhh!
Anyway, I appreciate your support. Thanks for the kind words!

Susie,
Another couple of weeks of the weather we are getting here and we will be getting that kind of growth too. Unfortunately the temperature has gone back to normal for us in the last couple of days. -14C out this morning, so that put an end to our early spring.

Hi, Susie. I hope you have not to pay for this warm weather. Here it's still cold and snowy and they promised even more snow. I like your hairy bud which fits very well with the rastered background.

hi there, i think this may be just a "tease" as i am not yet convinced that we have seen the lowest temps nor most snow ...i saw cherry tree blossoms this time last year!...i like the diagonals,clarity and dof...nice details on the fuzz,too ;>...i also think it would work as a vertical,too ....the new "dirty word" filter is hard-nosed..LOL..and has made a few boo boos of it's own,too!......regards,gayle

Looks like selective hearing is out the window at your house. Looks like a natural Q-Tip. No excuse now not to have clean ears. This bush sure puts out fuzzy buds. Nice clear picture with loads of detail. The twigs in the background makes for an natural back drop. Great framing.

Hi Susie,
I Posted a comment earlier, but UF sent an "oops" message because I use the same word as you -----willow, which their/UF checking on. Fyi -I used that word in proper context, by stating that I thought it was..what it appeared to be to me etc.. - Anyway I truly like your spring blossom on the star magnolia bush. you had a good eye to find such and it is a great photo.
