STARGAZER MAGNOLIA - a photo on Flickriver

STARGAZER MAGNOLIA

            Playing around with the Sigma 500 flash. I wanted to get a little different perspective on the flower other than a macro. Using a snooted flash off camera, brought out the selected flowers and faded the others into the background, quite nicely. I can see where this is going to get some use in the near future;-} (Taken in full sunlight with flash) 
This is for my Dad...He loved these flowering bushes and after he passed, my mother in law and sister in law bought me one for my garden in his memory. It blooms every year since and just lights up my garden.
