This is a macro/closeup shot of a Poppy
in the Antelope Valley. I found a dry
ravine with Poppies growing at the edge
of a creek bed. That enabled me to crouch
to a lower position and shoot across and
underneath the flower. I captured this
image during midday light.
I chose to handhold, using a 50mm lens attached
to extension tubes. Your thoughts and responses
are most appreciated.

Gorgeous shot Robert! I love the colors, lines and overall soft feel of this image. So did you go this past weekend? I think I may know the ravine you are talking about.
I just picked up my first macro lens (Sigma 70mm). So I am anxious to get some more practice using for shots such as these.
Thank you for the compliment, Derek. I got the image about two weeks ago.
As the temperatures rise, I'm looking forward to wildflower photography at
higher elevations along State Route 395.
