1. I love the close ups

particularly the last one. It really highlights the complimentary colors of the poppy. :thumbsup:

2. Thanks, Mz Pip.

I took a lot of flower shots just before our move. It was Spring. lol

3. Fabulous....

in particular I really love the last one. What is it about red and orange that is so hard to photograph?

7. I'll have to play around and see what happens....but....

of course, light is always important.

8. That's my biggest issue (light) when trying to get a red to look red or an orange to look orange

The colors don't always translate for me (I see one thing, I shoot another). I mainly just play around to I get it. :)

4. Amazing. I could smell them, honestly.

Used to grow poppies and as I looked at the first pic the smell came rushing back.

That last closeup is for sure a bee's eye view.
Wonderful to see them again, even closer than I ever got to the center.

I love poppies.
