Love these poppies and this image shows the flower to its best advantage. Beautiful as is, but as another composition I might consider cropping a a square to eliminate the other bud and the green background.

Lovely, Sandy! Poppies are probably my favorite wildflower. Good DOF choice.

Hi Sandy,
Excellent soft poppy photo. I cannot remember to see yellow poppy. The composition in vertical format works very well here. Wee done. :wavey:

Sandy: Love the glow of the BG but yet there is enough separation of the flower. Delightful shot.>=))>
