Hi David,
Your picture warm my morning ! The colours are outstanding, as the details on the flower. Did you apply any filter on the BG ? This is a perfect composition very well presented. Thank you for that pause in our winter !

Nice reminder of things to come. No hope of that here in Canada yet. We are still under a foot of snow everywhere. Well seen and captured.

Hi David,

A truly excellent capture of the textures of this poppy!
Very early bloom in your part of the world then! Love the bright colour against the blurred BG.

Hi David

Amazing sharpness and color. The lighting is controlled quite well and gives nice depth to the poppy. The background is a little distracting to me however, but other than that this shot is superb.
