Got out for a bit last Sunday. Found some nice wildflower displays along Highway 190 near the Tule River.

NIce closeup, Michael. Orange and blue work well together I like the diagonal
angle of the stem and the softness in the background. Thanks for giving the
location.

This is really nice! Great colors, excellent poppy. The OOF poppy in the lower right is a bit strong. I wonder if there is a way to de-emphasize that a bit? Back off on the saturation? Minor stuff, but thought I would throw it out there.

Michael,

An excellent poppy image; great color and selective focus/DOF. I might be inclined to crop a little from both sides to almost a square. I say that because as I look at the poppy, right away I thought this would be nice in a vertical format. But still, this is a great closeup of the poppy.

I like it, especially the base of the poppy. The illumination is fantastic.

Very nice. the background is beautiful though the LRC is a bit distracting
