Hi Stuart

First thing that jumps out at me are the colors ... easy to blow the red but this looks good Saturated but realistic !!!

I like basic composition, might like to see it tighter I know it will cut out some of the framing leafs but would like seeing less of the dark empty space !!! Neat image !!!

[Stuart Frohm]

Thanks very much!
I had much better success with the color this time. (During the previous shoot, the poppies photographed as red rather than this orange/red.)

Beautiful color pallette Stuart! I do think you could add a bit of brightness to the image with a slight levels adjustment - really make the top tones of that poppy pop! I agree with Al that a different comp might work better but the greens surrounding this orange are lovely.

Hey Stuart, nice colors, details, and this would also work well as a vertical.

Thanks very much, everyone!
