Poppies developing

Finally managed to capture these stunning flowers today that I have been watching develop over recent weeks - the colour is so striking and this shots shows the various life stages...

fabulous capture - great colour and focus. Sadly I fear I've missed the best of poppies over here - they are mostly battered by wind and rain! have to wait until next year!

@sparkle Thanks Juliette had to perform stunts to get the backdrop right but it paid off.

That background (which you performed stunts to get!) is amazing. I noticed it as soon as I saw the shot, along with the gorgeous colour of course.
