[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
poppies glow on a sunny day- they close up when its too cloudy or dark. most poppies are narcotic, the leaves can be crushed and placed inside the cheek against an aching tooth- or so they say.

poppies may be found in many generas. they are used as emblems on tombstones to symbolize eternal sleep.

Wonderful macro shot. The lighting is very good it doesn't washout the flower. The water droplets give it a little more depth. Your clairty and dedtail is impressive.
The flower itself is beautiful and you gave it honor in your shot.
I like that the background isn't in focus so that the flower stands out so much more.
The framing is quite tasteful also.
Overall a very nice addition to TL.

Hi Benedict
A very good shot of this poppy. Good detail in the petals. The water drops add that something extra. Good background. Well framed. TFS
