Aimee,
A very beautiful picture of the blue Himalayan poppy with the light glowing though the petals from behind. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

A good looking image presented here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of that beautiful bloom Textures, tones and detail are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

A really lovely rare blue poppy. You have captured this image beautifully, with great clarity. The blurred green background and the light on the top petal, the colours is a visual treat!

Very lovely floral offering here. Stunning details and sharp focus. Great colors with very good visual and initial impact. Good creativity and presentation. Your lighting and exposure are point on. Very good technique. Good sharp point of focus and very nice background blur. Very well done and very enjoyable view. Thanks for sharing!!

Hi Aimee, Blue is my favorite color so this bloom definitely caught my eye! Love the shade of blue tinged with a little purple. Focus and lighting are very nice! His definitely would be on my bucket list to photograph. You did a great job capturing this little gem! Good Luck in the contest! Wish I had a six for you! :o) Nancy
