Mary, I think it's you that should be giving tips. This is just beautiful. The clarity, the lighting and the composition and position of this peony are all just awesome.

Lovely MB... you know I kind or like B&W and lean towards that in my images... There is so much wonderful light and gentle contrast here I wonder what this would look like as a monochrome image. Give it a try if you are so inclined. Maybe try different filter affects in PS by adding a Red, Blue or Green filter. Let me know what you think if you try it.
You have really become a stronger photographer over the past year.

A big thank you for paying me such a great compliment, I like to think that I've improved in my photography and it's all thanks to you and the other bloggers for the inspirational images and very kind words of encouragement.

Masterful presentation! The "print" is perfect. I have a pet-peeve against the way most use boarders. However, your presentation is the exception. The boarder isn't blindingly wide and you haven't decorated it with a distracting black "inlay." Well done Mary! My hat is off to you!
