After a day and night of heavy rain, this poor tree peony at dawn hung it's "head" pretty low just waiting tto be dried off.

Canon 5D MKII f8 1/250sec handheld

Only PP was a slight levels and curves adjustment.

Beautiful drops with the flower. Maybe a bit tighter crop.

Nice catch, Bob. I like the water drops. My poor peonies are a lot more beaten down than yours after all the rain. I like the closer crop better

Beautiful exposure on the whites and water drops, and I like the tighter crop. Very nice indeed Bob.

Really nice, Bob. I like the uncentered/tighter crop the best.

Tighter crop for me too, Peony looks bigger in that and that way I can enjoy more details

The whites on this are really spectacular....beautiful glow set off by the darker bg.......the repost looks better to my eye
