Lovely close-up. I like how you can see such detail in the petals. Amazing that you got it with no ants, too. My neighbor had peonies and there always TONS of ants on them. Although I understand that they’re actually beneficial to the flowers.

*sigh* Peonies are my absolute most favorite flower of all time.
Wow Hallie! That is a GORGEOUS shot. It almost looks like a bowl of strawberry ice-cream. Yummy. You have a great eye for detail. And it’d be great if you started sharing some of your before and after photoshop tricks! I’d love to learn from you!
I love peonies!
My daughter is absolutely fascinated with the ants on our peony bushes.
Great shot!
