I photographed this Poppy 10 years with the
sun directly overhead. Hence, the bowl was
full of light, adding a special luminescence
to the petals. Your comments are welcome.

Really cool backlighting effect. Love the nice palette of colors.

This is very intimate detail Robert and creative for midday light. Makes me wish I had a macro lens. The light has a nice radiance to it.

Very nice! This is one of the more original takes I've seen using a poppy. Love the softened colors and shapes that run throughout the image. Well done!

I love the fiery glow. Great use of light. On days when the light isn't good for the larger views of nature I pull out my extension tubes and look for nature just at my feet. Your photograph captures the beauty of nature's intimate side. Thanks for the post.
