Beautiful. The effects that you used really worked well. It feels a little vintage to me also and a bit like a painting.
Best wishes with this entry in the contest.

They are beautiful. I like especially that you show the peonies in tree different stages of opening, a fully open blossom below, a smaller blossom just opening above it and a small bud above in the right corner. How they are assembled looks beautiful. The petals of all flowers have defined detail combined with softness. The flowers look outstanding on the bed of green leaves. The shades of pink and green on dark background are pleasing the eye. The tall framing emphasizes the beauty of the assemble. The creation is excellently balanced.

The lighting is flattering to these very pretty flowers. I like how you have captured different stages of their life cycles. The colors are rich and the texture of the petals look delicate and attractive. I like how the flowers jump out from the background which has a lovely softness and a hint of subtle patterns that are appealing too.

Gorgeous. Well you know I am partial to peonies. I think they are very magnificent. With so many petals and they show so amazing in any garden setting.
This is beautifully framed. great detail and color. Amazing clarity. I can almost smell the sweet fragrance.
Really lovely.

This is a beautiful still life image of peony blossoms. You have captured the full range of colors in the blossoms. Sharp details in the flowers and leaves. Good background to show them off. This was a pleasure to view. Well done!
