    Even though the flowers haven't bloomed yet, the poppy plants have come up. The red tips caught my eye, and I like the tiny dew-drop.

    Hey Aidan, I like these soft focus type image. Like the little red tip on green. Good point of focus and the one little drop of water.

    That one drop of water totally makes this image special, Aidan. There is one petal towards the top third that has a brighter side to it - I would probably tone that down a little as it competes with the drop of water. Beautiful colors here and a lovely, soft composition. It really sings...

    Love the shallow dof and this is a great image. Ditto on the lovely colours and I like how the focus is on the red/pink tips. The water drop is the cherry on top.:)

    I like that one a lot. The red goes well with the green. Great work with shallow DOF.
    A very good image!

    Thanks everyone. Jules, I hadn't noticed the brighter area. It doesn't really bug me, but I agree that it would look better toned down a little.

    Wonderful color, lightness, composition. You achieved much with so little. I like the angle of view and that one drop. I agree with Mike about the red tips, and with Jules re the little area that is brighter. :)
