Ouch! So good that it hurts! The petals are clean and perfectly toned and colorful. Great color and shadow... and perfect frame in the corner. minor...minor nit is the petal in center that looks like it was torn to get it out of the way. I might clone a smoother edge just because this is a wall hanger and ...though minor...that edge needs to be brought up to complimentary highest esthetic levels to match the petals. Well done!

Gorgeous graceful swoop of the colorful petals in this fine abstract of the peony. Well done, Scott!

I have to add: color is so subjective, but i recently tried my hand at one of this color and couldn't get it to look nearly as good as this. So, from capture through processing, however you did it, the color looks "nailed" to me. Sumptuous indeed!

This is sheer quality, Scott ! First rate composition, light and colour - a wonderful play of curves and lovely variations in depth and tone.

Scott - Might be a great design for some lamp shades. This is highly impactful !! - great perspective for a Peony.
