Louis Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share #6 Posted May 19, 2010 Stuny, Herb, Paul and JRM, thank you very much. JRM, I must thank you again for giving me the right name of this flower. I shot it in a flower shop and forgot the name.I googled and noticed Dahlia had the closest looks!... Now I googled again and realised you were absolutly right! Thanks!

allamande Posted May 19, 2010 Share #7 Posted May 19, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Louis, It's a stunning image (yes it's a peony -I have some pink ones on my table right now). They are gorgeous flowers to begin with, and you sure knew how to treat it right (as always). The master strikes again! Ece Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share #8 Posted May 19, 2010 Thank you so much for your very encouraging words, Ece. I am so ignorant about the name of flowers. I have another shot that I like to post, but I have no idea what it is called! ;( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albert Posted May 19, 2010 Share #9 Posted May 19, 2010 Peonies are difficult to shoot but you did it well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
euston Posted May 19, 2010 Share #10 Posted May 19, 2010 I can appreciate the expertise that has gone into this picture, Louis, as I find these very, very difficult flowers to photograph. Every year I try and every year I fail. I was beginning to think that only painters can do justice to the peony but you and your Dlux4 and your skilful processing have brought photography back into the game. Looking out of the window as I write this, I can see a bright pink peony lifting its head above the foliage. Now, where’s my camera . . . . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allamande Posted May 19, 2010 Share #11 Posted May 19, 2010 I have another shot that I like to post, but I have no idea what it is called! ;( Call it "untitled" and post, we'll get to enjoy your work, and I'm sure someone will name it, so we'll know what it is!

tmldds Posted May 20, 2010 Share #12 Posted May 20, 2010 Great shot in every way! Tri Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roguewave Posted May 20, 2010 Share #13 Posted May 20, 2010 Louis, excellent presentation. I like the desaturated look. Almost feels like the image is 20-30 years old & with faded Kodak dyes. Well done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share #14 Posted May 20, 2010 Albert, euston, Ece, Tri and Ben, your kind comments are very much appreciated; thanks. Robert, please show us your shot of "Peony". I am sure with or without your M9, you can make a masterpiece! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allamande Posted May 20, 2010 Share #15 Posted May 20, 2010 Louis, I had to come back to this. I was over at the Getty past weekend and this belongs next to those Dutch still life paintings that they have on their walls. It has a remarkable old master feel to it. Exquisite.
