[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A poppy is any of a number of showy flowers, typically with one per stem, belonging to the poppy family. They include a number of attractive wildflower species with showy flowers found growing singularly or in large groups, many species are also grown in gardens. Those that are grown in gardens include large plants used in a mixed herbaceous boarder and small plants that are grown in rock or alpine gardens.

The flower color of poppy species include: white, pink, yellow, orange, red and blue, some have dark center markings. The species that have been cultivated for many years also include many other colors ranging from dark solid colors to soft pastel shades. The center of the flower has a whorl of stamens surrounded by a cup or bowl shaped collection of 4 to 6 petals. Prior to blooming, the petals are crumpled in bud and as blooming finishes the petals often lay flat before falling away.

Oh, what a nice effect with these poppies taken with a low POV. The perspective is enhanced by them and the colours slightly undersaturated make a strange oniric effect. I love also the BG.

Bravo

Hi Sezai,
This is a beautiful landscape, with a good use of the wide deep of field and a good perspective.
I think that the colours can have more punch though, the yellow one are difficult to see and there is a green tint that is over all.
I tried a workshop to see if it can be good to change some settings to get more contrast with those colours.
Please let me know what you think of it. TFS.
