Hi All
Not been active for awhile, my wife’s Father has been unwell in hospital, so we have been travelling up and down to visit etc, now the Mum is to go in hospital for a hip replacement.
All on top of having our thatched roof replaced, so much straw.
Anyway it’s all turning round now for the better.

I was in the garden watching the Thatcher’s, and took some shots of garden things, I was going to take shots of the thatches working, but due to health and safety issues they use scaffolding, and that doesn’t look very rural. never mind
Thanks
Gil

Hi Gil,

Excellent DoF . .
I like this kind of style with focus on the flower while having blurred BG . .
Lovely composed . .

Tfs,

Very attractive Gil. The paper-thin like quality of the poppy is accentuated, and exposure is well managed. Glad to hear your relatives' health is turning for the better. Danilo

Truly superb textures here! I love the way your shallow dof allows us to appreciate the textures in your flower. The bokeh is superb and the colours all work together harmoniously.
Great composition too -- with your subject neatly lined up along the thirds

Hi Gil
Lovely colour of this flower - wow watching thatcher's - that would be awesome!
I like the colour of this poppy - very unusual - and I the pov is excellent
detail in the front petals is good and the blurry bg helps it to stand out
nice shot
cheers
Linzi

your flower shots a very good. still i would have liked to see the thatchers at work. you go for really close ups to avoid the scaffolding.

Hi Gil

Good dof & sharpness on the purple poppy, which contrasts nicely against the oof green bg. Well placed in the frame, too. Tfs!

A lovely image emphasizing the fragile quality of a poppy bloom. Very nice colour and soft background.

TFS and all the best coping with the family health problems. I hope all will be well again soon.
