The petals on your blooms do look rather unusual but I agree with you, they are very beautiful! Bet its a great looking tree you have there!! Your fine settings have provided us with lots of good detail to enjoy. Well done!

This shot reminds me that this year I will have to spend some time photographing the local "redbud" trees. They have a similar color although the flowers are not as profuse. A beautiful shot with great color.

Mary, this is gorgeous!
You did a fine job on focus, exposure with controlled white balance on the beautiful pink color.
Very nice camera techs here!

Healthy hot pink blooms filling up the frame aesthetically.
Subtle illumination.
Diffused focusing.
Nice perspective & narrow DOF.
Thanks for sharing...

Wonderful capture of this Crepe Myrtle in bloom. The colors are amazing and the lighting perfectly played. Personally I really enjoy the blooms, they are usually quite powerful just like this one. Great detail as well. Wonderful shot. Thanks for sharing.

Mary,
A beautiful picture of the Crepe Myrtle tree in full bloom it's beautiful & unusual deep pink blossoms filling the frame & bathed in soft sunlight so we can see their unusual formation. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
