Peony

In a large local Korean nursery full of peonies in bloom, this was one of a kind - all the others had single flowers.

Specific Feedback Requested

I liked how the evening sidelight hit this flower. I’m not sure if this would have been better as a stack; but I didn’t have the tripod so had no choice.

Technical Details

D500 + 105mm macro 1/250 f14 ISO 400

Topaz Denoise and some PS Shadows and Highlights.

Nice one, Mike. The colors are fantastic. Never seen this species before.

Wow – not sure I would have known this is a Peony! GMO has its role, going way back. Well photographed and processed!
