Hi there Alan, welcome to TL! This is a very beautiful shot, I like the sharpness of the flower and the contrast of colors. DOF is very well chosen. WS is well done, but in my opinion you shouldn't flip the picture. They say that when western people put their object on the left side that there is a story that starts from there and goes into the future. Object on the right ends the journey. Or something like that :)
Anyway, this is a good job. Keep posting!
Regards
Robert

Beautiful shot. I see why you chose to flip the image. It draws the eye into the shot. Excellent focus. Removing the colour from the backgound makes the red pop even more. I look forward to you next posts.

I'm so attracted to photos that have red involved. I'm not a fan of flower photos, but I must admit that I like what you did with this.

Is that an insect on it's stem?

Excellent shot Alan, love the vibrant colour and the wonderful detail, nicely positioned with great DOF, looks like ther might be an insect crawling up the stem?

Nice composition, well done!

Very nice picture, I like the contrast a lot. The PP is really very good. I'm happy to have found your pictures, I like them both a lot. I had a look on your TN portfolio and liked what I saw there... You're in my favourites!

Awesome PP work Alan! How do you selectively desaturate? I am just learning Photoshop and am like a 1st grader at it!

Great focus on the poppy, the gray background really accentuates it.

Hi Alan

Welcome to TL.

Beautiful! I love this effect. You have captured this nicely and by desaturating the background have enhanced the beauty of the poppy. Nice one. Thanks.

Hi Alan, good to see you here too. Your poppy looks good here, especially with the de-saturated BG... Good composition, super red too. Well done.
Have a great Easter holiday,
Janice
