[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A simple capture on a simple day - a poppy along the road to sea, a cup from which to sip when the weather is gloomy.

Tech: captured in raw, adjusted levels and contrast in raw, converted to jpg, slightly burned one bright spot in one corner, cropped a little from the right, resized and sharpened

Thanks for looking and have a sunshine-y day

Jeeeee what a nice cup of sunshine Silke. I need it :-) Great colourful impression of this special (for me :-) flower. Excellent sharp and clear image. I really enjoy it.

Hi Silke,
... and the simplicity is making it more beautiful. I like the vivid yellow, and the interesting light that enhanced the shape of the flower. Nice blurred and darken background.

Have a nice day,
Ramdan.

These poppies are so pretty Silke. The colours here are spot-on. And the lighting and clarity are just right
Well done

PS Do you and Linda txt each other when you're posting your photos?

Great detailed close-up, the colour and light looks perfect. Well done.
Best wishes,
Achim

Aptly titled Silke, you certainly have been brightening up my drab winter of late. Lovely rich colour in the poppy and well defined ad composed.
