What a beautiful shot. I assume you used "flood" to create the foreground water.

Great color depth and I love the reflection...great exposure, focus, lighting, everything works really well.

Nice job

How beautiful this flower is. It is so delicate it looks as if it were made of paper. I think it would look just as beautiful without the reflections. Good work as usual!

Hi there and wow, its poppy time and this has to be one of the best takes on a poppy I have seen so far. Love how you treated a beautifyl captured shot to such heights, wicked. Like I said, the detail in original is fab, the middle (not easy been trying for years) with its textures and the way you have it falling into a pond / pool of water well, amazing and totally the effect. Make this pop off my screen. Hope you have a great evening, C

The flood filter makes this dreamy. Lighting as USUAL is heavenly, majestic even.

Love the brightness of this flower, the orange and purples.
Like how you have extended the color by putting in the flood filter.
Nice backround color, offering warmth, and contrast to the brightness of the flower.
vertical frame works well.
Your light and focus are excellent, offering us good definition of the entire flower.
I was taking pictures of this flower last week on vacation, and didn't realize it was a poppy. It looked more exotic than most poppies I've seen.

Very nice composition. I like the reflestions added to a very clear shot of this flower. Excellent work. Thanks for sharing. Rebecca

I like the composition for its reflections, centrality, clarity, and spaciousness. However I find the color palate wanting. The flower and the background becomes one continuous color spectrum and it serves as an impediment for accentuating the very well deserved singularity of the poppy as the main subject. I would eliminate the vignette in the background from the horizon upward, remove the brown frame and lighten up the color of the water to create better contrast in this seemingly Gothic image.
