Fantabulous bloom in striking crimson red petals.
Sharply focused core features & smooth textures.

Compact framing.
I'm sure there are lots of distracting elements on the sides...

Thanks for sharing...

This is an exquisite close up. I like those little pistils laying on the petal. The sharpness of the flowers is impressive. The photo has good exposure. The colors are realistic. The close framing is perfect. The composition is balanced.

A beautiful perspective taken of this vivid red poppy. I have never seen the centre of a poppy and this is wonderfully displayed here in a macro version. Beautifully lit by the light, clear and focused ...an excellent capture and a pleasure to view!

Your Angle/POV and placement within the frame makes this poppy stand out and have all our attention. White balance is controlled and colors are true and natural.
Great capture Pat ;)

I think the angle is interesting and really shows off the center well without taking too much attention away from the pretty shape of the petals. The colors are very nice and the overall clarity is attractively sharp.

A gorgeous close up shot of the beautiful red poppy Your square format and central composition are visually strong. Very well photographed in good lighting, sharp focus, and outstanding details and clarity in your image. Your diffused background compliment your work beautifully. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing.

Comment from Linda Wetzel


I like the watermelon red look of this poppy and the white rind like center. The cupped upper petal stand guard over the seed holding basin created by the furled under petals. I love the way the seed pod creates the look of a crown.
