With the sun high in the sky at 12.30 on that sunny day, I made some poppy pictures, they all came out right, but it was just that: poppies and lots of them- so I decided to have some fun with it.
We are patiently waiting for England to send over the rain and thunderstorms, because at this moment it is what we think of as a heatwave (only 30C).
My plants have been watered at 6 this morning, but I'm sure nature will be pleased to receive some rain.
.
I suppose I should look up the exif data in Photoshop - but really - too hot, too much work ...

Thanks for having a look and hopefully a smile,

Els

Piem blam, piem blam, piem blam blam.
Sorry Els. This lovely 'song' came into my mind.
Had to sing that on the basic school, with a broom in my hand.
"Joost en Klaartje, Aardig paartje, luister naar ons welkoms lied.
Dat het leven u vreugd mag geven en u sparen voor verdriet.
piem blam blam."
Ik weet het.!
Slaat als een klaproos op een Piano.! Maar sounds good, toch ?
In de natuur is geen bloemetje gelijk, maat jij presteert het om ze ala minuut te vermenigvuldigen.
Grote Klasse, Elly.
Bravo.!!!
Groeten van Jan

Beautiful presentation. Very well composed with wonderful popies.

This is a really fun idea! I love the PP work that turned a one of a kind to a chain of multiples. Great composition too, with the one flower in the front corner

Bonjour Els,
Un bel arrangement avec des coquelicots lumineux et au rouge très tonique ! :) Fleurs et lignes se marrient à merveille. Mes compliments.
Amicalement.

Pascalie.

Weer erg leuk gevonden, Els !! Je moet er maar opkomen. Het lijkt inderdaad alsof ze op een notenbalk staan. Mooie werk. Complimenten.
groeten,
Joop!

Hello Els,

We'd love to part with some of our rain.
Yesterday was torrential! Many flowers were flattened and my poppies no longer look like yours!

Good play on words in your title.
I like the brash colours making a striking composition.
The details are sharp and the pp work excellent.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

hahhahahh I think that you are mixing up a few things here Els! But... I must say that this sure is a lovely picture! Very nice artwork indeed...

:-)

Oh Els
You can have some of our storms.. Just got major thunderstorms and about 2 inches of rain.. I have to take some H2O out of the pool.... HA and see I watered my plants this a.m. so YOU will definitely get the rain :):):)


Love the idea.. the reds with the black and white look really wonderful.. Very different and welcomed post!

Cute stuff Els - you got a lot of milage out of one poppy and of course a few "strings". I have so much to learn with CS3 to even consider this kind of effort.

Dan

every night we have heavy rain here, Els.. i love it because so lovely to sleep when it is raining.. :)

wow lovely capture of this poppy that you make into artwork.. you are so good at this, Els.. tfs..

regards, terry

Once again your creativeness is very apparent , dear Els. I love the silky feel you have captured on the reds and the artist presentation is enjoyable to look at. Great sharpness and detail on the poppies and wonderful simplicity in the over all composition. Well done.

Ah, een poppy-symphonie ;o)
De herhaling van steeds dezelfde bloempjes is een leuk gegeven, en wonder boven wonder helpt het w/z vlak erachter daarbij. Je moet er maar opkomen...

Hi Els,
Wonderfully catchy title to go along with an equally unique and imaginative image.
Brilliant clarity and razor sharp details to this eye catcher.

Hoi Henkie,
Heb zeker zitten pitten want heb deze ff gemist meissie. Pracht compositie, lekker helder rood (wat niet makkelijk is)Heel mooi idee goed uitgevoerd! Een klein puntje van kritiek (ik moet toch wat te zeuren hebben :-) je naam in de klaproos vind ik geen geweldig idee, maar ach, een kniesoor die er op let.
Kniesoor ;-)

This is a wonderful example of pp work here Els! LOVE the combination of black white and red! It's very popular here! You do a great job on pics like this!
