17th - Poppy-tastic

A few die-hard poppies linger on in this field of wheat...I was lucky to get this shot, a few mins later and the dirty black clouds behind me closed in and the rest of the day was washed out

Red poppies against golden fields of wheat make for such an arresting image. Love this shot. VV

Beautiful shot. V.

The poppies are hanging-in and glad that they are still subjects for great photos. Looks like the seed heads may be outnumbering the flowers.

Great eye, Doug. This is beautiful with the dots of red against the golden background. V

Well done Doug This is superb the shallow DOF and pin sharp areas of interest are brilliant

Very nice image, Doug, V

I like how the shallow DOF isolates the poppies from the rest of this summer scene. Sounds like you got more sun than we did.
Phillip Normanton17-Jul-2011 18:53
Your poppies are certainly popping :o) Yes, the clouds have been very, err, persistent today!
