Peony Up Close

It is very abstract at this angle and reminiscent of such art. Peonies are a favourite of mine. I love the way they are such foosies when in full bloom showing all they have and this capture is just that. So beautiful almost over the top. I love it.

I love this piece. You managed to capture the essence of the flower and bring out it's otherworldly quality. The white, yellow, orange and pink hues give it a painterly affect. Great work. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much for your lovely review!
Comment from ABG Photography
Beautiful capture. I think if you increased exposure to brighten it up, it would really make it pop and be worthy of a 6. It is stunningly shot, nice and sharp and well framed. I miss my Peonies from my old home in New England. It's too hot down here in Florida to grow them unfortunately. Glad you're able to enjoy them all the way up there in Alaska.

Pat,
A beautiful picture of the heart of the white Peony with it's gold and orange stamens adding colour to the image raindrops sparkling in the light. Artistic composition, framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

Not the normal photo we see from you Pat but still a good one and the close=up has given this detail.one thing i might have done is crop a tad of the left [but very minor thing]...brian

Thank you so much Brian. My daughter actually sent me a similar photo of a peony and asked me to photograph them like that , she thought they looked more like art than a photo.

This looks more like a beautiful abstract painting! The framing, light, shadows, and colours all come together perfectly. Nice effort! Thanks for sharing!

A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine macro composition gives us an enjoyable view of that lovely bloom. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Nicely done!

Pat, it doesn't seem as clear as most of your posts. Just seems a little out of focus. Lovely contrast and colors shown here, however i would have hoped the center of the flower would be a little more clear.

Thank you so much Michelle, my daughter actually sent me a photo very similar to this that she had seen and asked me to photograph the peonies like that to appear more like maybe an abstract artwork, I shot several whole blooms too.
