Beautiful colors that pop, nice light, and an excellent use of F/3.2
The 'star' of the show, love the POV down through to center.. :toast: :toast:

Gorgeous array of colour, Scott ( reminds me a bit of the boldness of a Gauguin painting ! ). Love how you've got such nice texture in the main flower and great depth in the image as a whole.

Scott:

I have been following your poppy series and enjoying them. Each one a little different and very refreshing. :toast:

Pretty amazing collection of colors, Scott. Given that you want to make the open purple one the star, I think cropping a bit from the left (and maybe some off the bottom as well) would reduce how much attention the two red tulips behind it get.

Scott - Superb colors again with some nice foreground wash here but compositionally the previous two rank higher for me. I wish there was at least one tulip on the right matching in focus with the ones in the left.
