This big peony bloom blew over in the wind. I photographed it in a vase on my window with a shaft of sunlight on the left and the colder light of the shady room on the right.

I have some of these in my front yard. wonderful flower.
 
Thanks cjkriebel. The flower heads are so big on these peonies that any wind causes a real problem - I guess I'll have to support them or cut them.

Regards, Tony
 
They are wonderful to photograph too, with so many layers of petals and such subtle variations of colour. As shown so beautifully here.

A simply beautiful shot, Tony!
 
As mentioned above, I love how the colors change slowly as you look at the shot in different places. And its a nice composition, I like the shot a lot.
 
Thanks Antarctican & jlbrew3. Someone I know said it reminded them of frilly petticoats - but I wouldn't know about that :).

Regards, Tony
