We have a trial peony garden and this is one of the plants that bloomed last year. The grand center drew me in. F5, 1/100, ISO 200, 18mm. Powershot SX50.

Comments always welcome.

Nicely composed. The colors look natural and came out well. Good detail.

The yellow & pink center is a striking and very attractive combination that is set off well by the white petals. The hints of pink are a fine addition as well.

Gorgeous, Patricia, Very artistic, consistent with your personal style. :toast:

(Being the perfectionist sort, I'd personally clone out the tiny black spot located flower center at 3:00. I only mention it in case you missed it; and if you do clone it out, I promise not to move this to PA! :wink: ).
