I found these beautiful wild poppies on the verge of a road and often drove past thinking 'I must stop one of these days'! The timing was perfect when I did eventually stop as the sun was just right to highlight those delicate 'hairs' on each stem.

Very nice capture, Caroline :) I like lightning here which enhances details on poppies. Nice DOF and tones too.

Hi! Caroline,
I have always wanted to catch a scene of poppies backlit like this. The paper leaf is so special to the poppy and the hairy stems are so strong here. Funny how a thing of beauty can be such a distructive force where man interferes. These are the challenges left on Earth for us all to enjoy or to abuse.
One can only imagine the colourful barren hillsides of Afghanistan where man has propogated this crop of Beauty&Beast.
Lovely framing of a fine scene Caroline!
Picture Perfect!
Mike.

Tremendose lighting and colour, a perfect photo.
Congratulations.

Very good shot of these poppies. You have capture buds, flowers and fruits of this beautiful flower. You have isolate this flower with exact DOF.

Great! I like how the sun give a style to all those vegetal hairs. Plowers look delicate as soft paper! Simply wonderfull!

Stunning backlit shot Caroline, your timing and exposure are perfect. A real cracker.

Beautiful photo Caroline- amazing detail. They almost look like papercroche the way the sun is shining through them. Excellent!

Steve

tek kelimeyle; mükemmel..
1 word: excellent
congrats

Good timing! The backlighting surely does pick out all the details. A fine finished product with a comp that does it for me. A happy one.
I thought that the framers had eliminated them all by spraying but the edges of the fields still produce - which is good!
Is there a thriving heroine industry hereabouts?

A grand composition! The red is complimented very well against the green with nothing to disturb the flowers. Well done

Caroline, a wonderfull image, please stop more often, poppies are a bit like lupins, a weed. Why does no one like dandilions then? This photograph is really very good. Cheers G

Hi Caroline
