Unexpected

I've had this thought at the back of my mind for ages that I was going to purchase some peonies and do this massive scale photoshoot where I'd have more photos than I knew what to do with. Anyone who has bought them knows they're pricey so I finally went in and ordered some. 

Well, they weren't exactly what I had predicted (even though they're what I asked for). It was that they were all in full bloom. All of them. Not one was smaller, they were all the same size and colour. I was frazzled. 

I went ahead and took photos, stressed and came up with more ideas and compositions and every day, I hated them all. Finally three days in I managed to get some shots.

Needless to say, I managed to get one good photo at least and here is the result. I figured that I managed at least ten decent compositions but was so stressed that I'm going to be putting them away for a little while. They'll pop up here and there.

I really liked playing with the glass even if it was finicky.
