Peony romance

Thanks so much for all the birthday wishes , stars and even hearts, you are too kind ! Our living room is filled with peonies at the moment which are most certainly my favourite flowers when available and I got another two bouquets of peonies for my birthday. I've played around with an icm and a plain shot of the bunch of solely pink ones and made them more vintage and painterly with some Nik and PSElements effects. Strictly speaking not an abstract according to my strict abstract teacher (because they're still so recognisable) but fun to do nevertheless.

For today's optional Abstract Thursday theme of 'floral'
Please do tag your entries with AT364 so I'll be able to find them all over the weekend.
