Good Morning Everyone,

Today, is Remembrance Sunday. Remembrance Sunday, the second Sunday in November, is the day traditionally put aside to remember all those who have given their lives for the peace and freedom we enjoy today. On this day people across the nation pause to reflect on the sacrifices made by our brave Service men and women.

I am including a link here which explains the history of the poppy in this Remembrance Day ceremony.

I think it is an important day on which we can all think about, and hope for, World Peace.

I must be honest, I did not have a picture of a red poppy. This was an orange poppy which I have altered in PSE6.

Many thanks for stopping by.
Have a thoughtful Sunday. Bev :-)

Hi Bev,
Nice tribute to the fallen past present and unfortunately future, I the shot is great with the colours and detail, the hover fly is a good addition, great PoV and good shallow DoF. TFS

Hi Bev,
Yep, wearing the popies to remember a good English tradition!
You remember these victims of war with a wonderful picture. The bright orange, the perfect sharpness are all excellent even like the hover fly you captured which is a nice detail.
Wish you a good remembrance Sunday!

Hello,

Superbe fleur, quelle bele couleur, la position de ce bouquet est spendide, avec l'insecte en garniture, cette netteté, ce cadrage, une mervielle.

Bravo et maitié

Hi Bev

I think it's celebrated on 11 November in Australia. But the red poppies are the same. Good sharpness & dof here with excellent light contrasts. Tfs!

Superbe photo .L'abeille toute fine et très net un joli contraste de couleurs..Merci de nous rappeler ceux qui sont partis.
Bonne journée Marilène.

Hi Beverley,
Great lighting on these fabulous orange flowers with a bonus visitor on the sharpest flower!
Great use of shallow DOF and a nice play with shadows.
I love the square format, but I would eliminate the left thicker margin!...it's only my humble openion!
Great clarity and fantastic color tones.
Best regards,

Francis Xavier

wow, beautiful shot Bev... that leading poppy and bee are perfectly sharp. Love the little shadow inside the poppy also. Really nicely composed shot, and the DOF is lovely.
We don't have Rememberance Sunday here, but do celebrate Rememberance Day on Nov. 11th also.
Enjoy your day Bev
Trudy

Bonjour !

Merci du partage, pour cette journée de souvenir (je ne connaissais pas) mais c'est aussi un peu cela les images apprendre à connaitre les us et coutumes du monde.

Pour la photo, d'excellentes couleurs et des détails bien mis en valeur et beau travail de colorisation.

HI Beverley
So very appropriate for remembrance day, for us it is on 11 of november.
Its so little a symbol to remember our vets, yet its color does stand out reminding of all the blood lost.
A beautiful capture and well presented.

Hi Beverly,

Nicely done.

Hi Bev'

Magnificent! Brilliant colors and amazing sharpness are really wonderful
Nice DOF using f/10 and great repeatition of blurred flower...
Well done

TFS, Alireza

Hello Bev,
The equivalent of Remembrance Day in the U.S. is Veteran's Day which we will celebrate tomorrow for this year. A very fine tribute. The paper-like feature and texture of the poppies are evident. A superb sharpness you have achieved and the hover fly provides extra 'ooomph' appeal. My regards.

Danilo

Ciao Beverley


This is a piece of art, creative and skillfully done!
Excellent details in the petals, and the rich colours are well reproduced...
Tight framing adds impact by directing attention!
Sharpness and clarity are very well.
The colours are fantastic for look at.


Sergio

Hello Beverley,

Great DOF, light, sharpness and colors.

Best regards,
