A very interesting image, Jim.

What is causing this effect?

Anil... this is a double exposure. I took a close up of the poppy in the field and then in the next exposure took a wider shot of the field it resided in. This shot was taken by design so the poppy would be in the sky like the sun. I was trying to be an "artist" and a photographer so to speak. I'm not sure how successul I might have been, but it was a fun mini-project.

Hello Jim,

Thanks for answering my question. I think its an interesting approach. I did realize that you were portraying the flower as the sun.

Its great to see that you are trying to create images that are different from the norm.
