I came off the automatic camera setting and speeded up the shutter speed a little d00d. I made sure the bloom was entirely in the shade. This looks to have worked.

There's harsh light nearby but not on the bloom ... good conditions.

Thank you, Mart, wasn't sure if you liked me adding to your thread. I took my pic in shade also.

I don't mind at all Tiff.

The one in our garden is more fully open now and some of the outer petals aren't such a deep red as they were yesterday.

It was a bit cheeky, but mine had never bloomed before, even though the plant has been there for a long time. It only has one bloom on it too.

Re: Peony

All too soon, the Peony becomes an ex-peony..



..but still, for crafting or other purposes, the fallen petals might make a good background for something or other..

Mine is scattered all over that area of the patio, it was very windy here a day or so ago.
