I love the delicacy of poppies. This little Welsh one self seeds itself around the garden and here we see it gobbling up sunlight.:)
Beautiful with a delicate touch, great details and lovely yellow basking in sunlight !!

Great light over this poppy. Just shines right through that yellow. It's so beautiful the way the other stems are shadows behind.

A large vertical in this image and a transparency made of light, yellow light of the sun! Excellent image of great elegance. The petals look like tissue paper. I love the fruit that ja is maturing but still shows green and lush. The time capsule! Una image bellisima grouser!!! Best regards, Adela

This is beautiful. The backlight is gorgeous and I like how it hightlights the poppy. The detail and colours are wonderful. Very well done

yup, just sit back and let the light do the work . . captures the flimsy frailty of the poppy so well.

Good afternoon Grouse,
It's interesting. It is excellent in reproduction. It is a very beautiful sunny picture. For the first time I see a yellow poppy. 10 Stars ********** Have a nice day, and all the best. Dear greetings Christel

Poppies are so beautiful and even more so the way you have captured it here with the magical light through its petals

This yellow is so luminous ! A great shot

Bright vibrant juicy color. Love the way you have given us the stems, too.
We both had the same idea today in that regard. :-)
