A beautiful treatment for the shrinking poppy. Still shows the gorgeous colors and the unique way light plays on their delicate petals. #1383542

This is just gorgeous, Rona!! I wish I had some poppies in my yard, I think I need to plant some! #9451259

Thank you all very much for this vote of confidence! I am still a neophyte when it comes to shooting flowers and find it quite challenging - especially in the wind outside. I love poppies and my husband planted a bunch of them in our garden - but they were so hard to get to! This was taken lying down on a railroad tie shooting down, hand-held, so I was very happy how it turned out! #9451302
