...still fiddling with a handful of raw files from 2010 to get a handle on the process.

beautiful job on this Bill.
Peonies are the first flowers I learned the names of and that's because I grew up in a house surrounded by them and they're the only flowers that didn't strike me as foo-foo neo-bourgeois uselessness. I was a weird child with odd socio-political attitudes and, according to neighbors, unnatural interests. But I digress. This is a fantastic composition, and I love the way that color seems to be such a profound aspect of the composition. I always go for assymetry as it makes for very, very interesting photography. It's that Fibonacci spiral thing at play...the main blossom defines that spiral and so the whole picture has a focus that isn't where that rule of thirds rule tells you it should be. How fun is that? Well, I'm tickled pink by it. The DOF is super too...it's a bit cinematic...like the peony is getting her closeup, while the other flowers are just doing their thing, not necessarily a part of the drama at hand. And so now, I wonder, what's this blossoms's story? This is super.
very lovely
Beautiful colors and detail. Also like the color contrast!
Such a full bloom. Stunning, Clive
