[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
One of the nicest things about the seniors’ home where Roy’s mum now lives is the garden.
I noticed the way the sun glowed through the petals of this Icelandic poppy and tried to capture the glow in an image that I will share with her and the administrators of the home.

Tech: Taken in Raw, adjusted levels and colour saturation in raw, converted, adjusted curves to control the sun’s reflection just below the petals and cropped slightly, increased luminance in Image > Adjustments > Match colour ; resized, sharpened edges, framed and signed

Thanks for looking and have a wonderful weekend

Marvelous warm glow here Silke! Love the simplicity of this shot, super sharp...I see absolutely a wonderful thing here! Flowers are forever! ***putting a spell on the flower***

Sensational glow to this poppy in the Sun Silke.
The edges of the petals are so nice and crisp.
The focus on one single poppy was a great idea.
Well done.

i like this, it is a nice capture. these poppies always elude me for a decent pose. good use of light though maybe a bit more blur in the background.tfs

Nice backlighting Silke, the flower positioned just right and a lovely colour. Good work on the background and the sharpness where it should be.

Hi Silke

Superb backlighting, in this marvellous floral macro, which gives the petals an attractive, transparent luminence. Good dof & sharpness, as always. Tfs!
