  Gaurav, Dan, Jordi, Sanjay, Evy, Mata, Paul, Carla, Carolyn, Colleen, Tammy, Stephanie, Tom, Charlene, Bill, Roger, Colette, Marsha, Deborah, Debby, and Terry: What a lovely response, thank you all so much for your generous comments!

No effects used here other than adjusting the contrast and utilizing a shallow DOF on my 100mm macro lens--as well as a slight breeze that parted the clouds and allowed the sun to peek out for just a second during this shot!

  It may be just another California Poppy, but this is not just another photograph!
This is amazing. The backlighting and the detail that you teased out through the petals of the stamen in the center is amazing!

Congratulations on you POTD and enjoy your 20D. It doesn't eat batteries like the 50D. But, no doubt you've upgraded higher by now.
