I find this color of Peony one of the finest to work with as it gives such soft hues inside the outer white petals. What drew me to this portion of the flower, was not only the patterns on the surface, but the gradual contrast between shadow and light.

As good a picture of a peony as I have seen. The colors and light make this for me. Superb.

I love the delicate coloration and feel of this. I might crop a bit off the left side, but that's subjective, of course.

Beautiful light and a fine composition Morgan. I love the mood of it as well. I'd agree that this is as fine a peony image as I've seen. No suggestions on my part.

Soft mood, but well defined edges makes this a winner. Like it alot!

Morgan: Aptly titled and a fine result. Love the pastel color palette and your DOF/POF choice. Well done.>=))>
