I like how you were able to capture all of the details and colors in the poppy. All the little veins and ruffles in the orange and black really stand out sitting in front of the vivid greenery behind the flower. Nice work!

You did a great job on this shot. I love the colors and the composition of the shot as well as the contrast between the flower the leaves and the black background.

A very nice flower shot presented here! Your gorgeous bloom certainly deserves its full and central composition. Like the fine detail your settings have captured. Nicely taken!

You do very nice macro work. I am working on mine. I'll get there. Just not happy with it, yet. I have learned to turn my ISO up to increase my shutter speed.

Very nice image. Great focus. Nice presentation. Well done.

Nice capture. The focus was spot on the flower. The details of petals, stamen and pistil are well defined. The colors of the beautiful flower look natural. I think the position of the blossom in the frame is not idea. I would crop tight to the blossom on the left and above and half of the space between blossom and frame on the right.

This is an exquisite poppy and you have captured it beautifully. Your beautiful natural light, and sharp focus reveals wonderful details and colors on the flower and stamen. Your framing is perfect with a good depth of field. This is very nice work and thanks for sharing!

Aren't Poppies just the best Mike. Always such a beautiful and interesting stamen....which you have shown here just wonderfully.

Crisp focus. Stamen and seeds are perfectly detailed. Colors are lovely and natural and the petals have a marvelous crinkled look that I really like. Well exposed. A lovely presentation Mike.

Unique petal features with an equally weird reproductive structure.

Sharply focused with Fine features & textures.

Ample illumination without overblown spots.

Contrasting verdant overtone is visually appealing.

Nice perspective & narrow DOF.
Thanks for sharing...
