Ram: Love the detail you've captured here and the symmetry. I don't recall seeing one of these recently so this is a nice treat. >=))>

Very nice Ram. The lines in the white petals work really well - as do the radiating lines from the center. Very pretty. I wish that I had peonies around that I could shoot.

Beautifully lit with some great detail, Ram, the centre popping out against the subtle whites of the petals. The centred composition seems just right here - lovely !!

Spectacular Ram! Just gorgeous detail and the colors are perfect. I love peonies. They are hard to come by around here, expect for short periods at the local florists. Nicely done!

Just beautiful Ram! The stark light and low contrast create splendid colors. I love this image.
Take care.
