Very nice Orio! (What's that blueish overcast on the right side of image #1? Flare?)

Beautiful Orio. I love this genus, but ours are still a month or more away from blooming.

Klaus, I can not see a flare.
I did shift slightly the tonality of green channel in the first picture, to make the green match that of the Elmarit pictures.

I was only referring to that blueish coloration on the bottom ride port of the Peonie flower and wondered what caused that ...

Gosh, how I LOVE Peonies...they are always such a vibrant flower, and
of course a harbinger of Spring. I REALLY like the rendition using the
Planar. It looks like I could reach out and touch it. One thing that seems
common to the Peony flower is the tonality that you captured in #2. The
flower always seems to exhibits a basic color, and also some off-tones of
the same basic color, making them look multi-colored. A fine flower for
shooting any time.

I can just imagine the first image at about 20x30 hanging on a wall -
gorgeous!

The Peonies in my neighborhood are starting to fade now. Sad

Indeed they do.
It's actually a problem capturing them with a CMOS digital camera (because of limitation of red channel). Film would have been much better.

yes, they only stay for 3-4 days, unfortunately.

Well done, Orio. I like most the second one, soft transitions and even colouring. Amazing Planars always... (in the hands of an amazing photographer, of course Wink ),

Regards.
