Flowers are one of my specialties, I've always injoyed photographing them, next to wildlife photography they always brighten my days. Norm

Norm,

You should market (perhaps you do?) photo books of your flower shots; they're are extraordinary

Thanks Chad, I have done both with my photo's of flowers, your comments are always welcome and thanks for taking time to view my photo.

Very pleasing capture Norm! The color and the composition are beautiful.
I really like the darker background - makes the flowers stand out so nicely!
Great job!

Thanks Carrol, appreciate your comments and stopping by.

Lovely shot, Norm! You certainly have a knack for flowers. My only minor critique may be more to do with the small size of the photo and the way my computer reproduces the images -namely that there are areas of the flowers that look blown out on my monitor. I'm sure there is detail to be seen in those areas but they just aren't showing up. In any case it is a minor thing and the overall image is great!

All the best,

Endre

Hi Norm,

Very lovely peonies. You have captured them well. For my tastes I would like a little softer light. If they are still in bloom taking a similar shot about an hour or two at the most before sunset should give you softer light, but that is just my tastes.
