The poppies are in bloom right now, they are gorgeous. I haven't taken many pics of flowers and in general am not to interested in them except to see them in nature. Comments appreciated.

Wow these are quite different from the Poppies I am used to. They have quite a different look and almost a desaturated color. A very nice angle of a flower I have never seen . Nice one Paul.

Good how you got low to take this shot. You can see the deep shadows below and the light and colour of the flowers above. It looks grand.

Thanks Gary, Anthony and Dimitri. This is their real color, rarely are there yellow flowers. The pic was taken in late aftenoon and the flowers are backlit.
