Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??

The Sisters smiles are beautiful. So very well captured by you too. Love their soft pink color with the just right lighted centers. Nice work. :o)

These are so lovely, Mimi, both well shot and composed. I only wonder why you waited so long in posting.

Wonderful macro, Mimi. The pink just stands right out and lifts those blossoms from their background. Beautiful shot!

They must be twin sisters, A beautiful capture well composed with great colours. They stand out very well against the dark background.
A good post.

This is a lovely capture of these peonies indeed! I wonder if they are of the fragrant type. I remember some years ago wandering into a garden full of these and the aroma was quite heady! Fav'd and thank you for sharing such a lovely image!

What a pair of lovely sisters. The would not be wallflowers. They would be the belles of the ball. Beautiful colors and clarity Mimi.

Mimi, this is beautiful but it is too dark. I took it into Photo Shop and did a Levels adjustment on it. All I did was move the far right slider to the left, over to to where the black begins and oh, what a difference it made. Sending it to you via e-mail.

Lovely, soft crinkly petals and bright yellow centres. I think Momma's right, it could do with a bit of brightening but that's easily done. I like how they're nestling in amongst the dark green leaves.

A beautifully captured set of twins, Mimi. I really like the pollen spilling down the petals of the flower on the left - nice detail -
