In this one, it was once again in my garden just sitting there looking oh so pretty. I hand held this one with 100mm lens and a polarizer on it. I was happy with the results, I like the depth field and the colors.
Thanks Scott

Hi Scott, you're right about the DOF and the colors, really stunning. Great contrasts between the green background and the red and purple on the poppy. The detail and sharpness on the inside of the poppy is excellent making the water droplets stand out. I will be nitpicky and say that maybe you should not have cropped the tips of the poppy petals on all sides like that, it makes the composition a little off. But other than that, great shot, and TFS!

Hello Scott
This poppy litterally pops out by its clarity and vivid colors over judiciously-blurred
greenery!
The off-center position is admirable.
Cheers.
Robert

David
