The Peony up close is beautiful! The color presented here are very beautiful. Then the water droplets on the pedals is an excellent touch! Thank you for sharing!

Comment from Maureen Woychyshyn
This is a stunning, visual!! your composition colors, tones, and presentation is extremely well done. I love the swirls within the flower the beautiful petals that you've accentuated and the little bit of dew that you've captured. Wonderful viewing pleasure. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Ray Gordon
Pat, looks like you had a marvelous time at the peony festival. This is a gorgeous example of a fully bloomed Peony. Such a deep yellow center, with pink and blue hints in the white petals. SO nice to hear you had a great time Peoning. This is a six but I have none. Ray

Thank you so much Ray, my daughter actually sent me a photo of a peony shot very similar to this , she asked me if I would shoot some , she thought it looked like artwork, I shot several and several whole blooms too .
