My wife says this reminds her of something but would not elaborate.
Poppy bud about to burst open.

Women are a mystery, John. My wife says it reminds her of the postman, but I don't see the resemblance.
A nice way to capture a poppy, getting a little of the color and a lot of their strangeness. Lovely background, excellent depth-of-field. Might consider removing the blemish. Ours I expect to pop tomorrow.

Though I am usually not a fan of boxy crops but I love this. I am a sucker for poppy buds. Love the red. Would eliminate the single dark imperfection.

Hi John. A very interesting flower with a splash of bright color ready to emerge! Very nice overall sharpness and I like the slight diagonal of the comp and the off-center stem. I would also suggest cloning the dark spot. This is very nicely done!
