Captured this image last summer on one of our long walks when I spotted this beautiful pink Peony. Thought this would be a good one for a Foofy Friday Posting.

If you view in full there are a couple of ants crawling around. Hope you enjoyed the view.

Did this in layers just to bring out the one to make it really pop bringing out more detail and rich colour, then I did the background as B/W using Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and downsized it using iPiccy.com.

Thank You in Advance for your Comments, time and favs if you chose to do so.

Have a Beautiful Day, ♥ Skates

Going out for a long walk right now, so I'll be back later to comment. I've already walk 6 miles earlier today.

Perfect use of the 'selective coloring principle' Pat, resulting in a wonderful and delicate Foofy Friday image. Think that the other B&W peonies envy their 'friend' in full color, lol.

Very good one my friend. Perfectly done!!!

The selective color choice worked splendidly in this Pat - what a gorgeous peony.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
