A very tasty image I must say. The grasses accompany the poppy so very well. Top notch.

Wonderful light - great colours - perfect placement in the frame, and the angle of the flower is lovely.

Tastefully done, Brigitte

. The lines from the grass reeds make this shot for me. Lovely

Brigitte:
How luck for the lone poppy to encounter you and getting photographed! Love the flower behind the lines of grass. Nice effect.
