A gorgeous image. Do you use more than one light and if so are they equally bright? The colors are fantastic and the detail in the petals as well as the water droplets is superb.

This is lovely, Deborah! I love the beautiful orange color of the flower. The sharpness and detail are excellent. I love the water drops.

Deb, I simply love this! If I had a six or two, you would have them with this one.

Colors, dark background and super clarity are all top notch here.

the simple, yet very effective visual is simply stunning!!

Comment from Paul G.


I don't like pavers. Pavers mean that I have to dig because those will be stones that we were using to put down in the ground. They are a lot of work. However the blooming paver is a very very nice or is it a pa-pa-ver addition to my vocabulary. Your photograph is of course perfect. I like the color the framing and everything about it. Thank you for sharing. Hope you had a wonderful day. Yes, this is reviewing nuisance doing his best to make you smile.

Beautiful isolated capture of this poppy all glistening with droplets of water. I like the side angle vantage, your right lighting as well as the varied oranges we're afforded to enjoy. They're one of my favorite blooms.

I love the sideways presentation, Deb, and the crepe paper look comes across brilliantly along with ever minute detail. The dark backgrounds are always so perfect and here it accentuates the artistry of the composition and the vivid color. You are an expert at showing off single bloom elegance. Glad I had a 6 left for you.

    aww..you are very kind Ed. I almost rotated this one before posting it and then decided NO.....it deserved to be shown just the way it grew. Thank you so much for checking it out and big smiles here this evening for your very generous review and rating. Seriously!

A great shot BB. I do like the horizontal orientation od this flashlight illuminated flower. As always, your image immediately impacts and one can almost hear the inner silent "Wow". How long did it take you to learn the "Flashlight Technique Master?" "Grasshopper, if you need to ask there is not enough time in the universe for you to learn". Great work BB ~ BB
