One of many poppy shots I got in Oregon. This is a flower I've seen many times in magazines, and always thought I would love to shoot them. I finnally got my chance in Oregon and was happy with what I came home with. Fuji S5 Pr, Sigma 180 macro, Tripod, F3.5.

Love it, Mike. I like the color, the softness, everything. Very dreamy image. At first, the second poppy in th background bothered me just a bit but I got over it! :)

Yes it works for me Mike - has an ethereal feel about it. Reminds me some of George Lepp's Californian poppy images!

Hey Mike,
Because of you and Fabs..............I'm going to keep trying f3.5 shots even if it makes me nuts! This has a great feel to it. I've played with this one compositionally by cropping off 1/2 to 2/3 off the greenish space on the RH side. Seems to strenghten the lines a bit compositionally by pulling the flower a bit more to the right. Still debating the upper left grey area......but after I did the RH crop.........it didn't bother me as much. You continue to inspire.......so I'll keep trying!
