Comment from jaguarXFR
A lovely flower but do not seem to last long. Nice sharp focus and detail across the complete flower head. I like the framing with the flower on a slight angle, The background works well enhancing the flower nicely.

"some good things never last." It was perfect when I clicked my camera, the next day after the storm, they're all gone. Thanks for the lovely review.

Comment from emhcee
The clarity of the image with its subtle water drops has created an effect which looks almost brittle (Like candy) and you almost feel as if you can reach out and break off a piece. This is in no way a criticism and in fact I very much like the overall effect. Many thanks

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel
A very beautiful and fragile flower similar to a rose with many petals , excellent used of space , I love the fragile essence of this bloom , your focus is perfect, excellent exposure, I love the deepness between the petals - your image is clear and sharp with the perfect contrast and lighting, a beautiful fairy flower - well balanced , well presented , thanks for sharing

Love the color of this Peony? I don't know flowers very well. Sorry. But I know a beautiful one when I see it!Love the out of focus background and the two colors go very well together. Love how you cropped it also.
Thank you so much for sharing.

Beautiful, classic flower picture. The super sharp detail, water droplets and all, the lovely color and the perfectly balanced foreground/background make a super picture. Cheers, James.

Comment from Life is but a dream.
An in your face image of a peony, honest, well exposed, and nice marginal space all around.

Gorgeous natural saturation and crisp clear focus makes for a punchy presentation.

Your dof used is excellent with softening the background which does flush out the story of environment of this girl.

Strong, pretty, love it.
