Excellent soft light and color, great contrast to BG Ian.
Well chosen point of focus & great use of F/6.3 also..
With the subdued light of your BG, the poppy almost seems to be floating :smile:
Looks dreamy, well done :wavey:

Ian:
The petals are like the swirling dancer wearing a yellow skirt. Love the movement here. Beautiful light.
