This is just gorgeous Lucien.
I love how soft and beautiful this flower is. Even the texture is gentle and ruffled,
like such a feminine bloom.
The white balance is very nice and this image gives a wonderful overall tropical feel.
I like it!

malmax,
Thank you for the time and comments. The sage green leaves in the background, help the flower stand out.
Pleased to read you like the composition and angle of the shot, I do too.
Have yourself a good day.
Stay save,
Cheers.

Comment from FBI GUY
I see the remains of a stunning bloom. The bright yellow is still the central focal point of the beautiful flower. My alternative fun vision is a fluffy glob of whipped cream with a raw yolk ready to throw into someone's face. I know, I am a warped individual. Good luck in the contest.

FBI Guy,
yes, like it does leave you with impression of a sunny side up egg. There is nothing warped about your interpretation.
Thank you for the time and comments. The sage green leaves in the background, help the flower stand out. Similarly as the crumpled pedals help the central orange stamen part stand out as well.

Thank you for the well wishes for the photo in the up and coming contest.
Have yourself a good day.

Comment from supergold
you're right: crumpled but still elegant indeed; a very good capture of this white poppy; I like the texture of the petals and the control of exposure for the white "color".

Comment from cleo85
This photograph is outstanding. The crumpled look of the petals is delightful. The petals of the opening Poppy blossom emphasize the yellow center excellently. Your photo is perfect focused and exposed and has good depth. The sharpness of detail and texture is astounding. I appreciate the realism of color and light. There are no blow out of the whites. The white balance is exquisite. The Poppy is perfect placed within the frame. The composition is balanced. Your photo is charming and elegant.

Lucien,
A beautiful picture of this California Tree Poppy with it's petals like crushed silk with a golden centre & grey green foliage. Beautiful composition framing and lighting with superb camera techniques, white balance & sharp focus.
