Backlit, taken indoors, natural light. Taken last week.
Thank you for visiting and commenting on my recent posts. Still have this awful cold, but, yesterday I spent more time vertical than horizontal, which is progress!

I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.
If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!
A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.

Very lovely. Good details in the white, a place where some photographers fail. Well done!

Oh, I just love Peonies, Anita. My Grandmother had a gorgeous peony bush when I was growing up. You captured the elegance so well.

I associate peonies (beautiful as they are) with mass. This photo (your eye and use of light) opens up the delicate nature of this flower in charming and captivating way.
