You are not Poppy!

I went to the poppy field again intended to repeat one shot I did last Tuesday with a better composition. This fella changed my plan completely.

Good shot! The DOF really highlights the duck.

@dakotaburns @maggiemae I had the sensor cleaned yesterday and it is spotless. so happy.

Great use of DOF....it definitely brings the duck to attention!

Wonderful and an instant fav! Not what I would have expected to see in a poppy field and the surprise is what makes this shot so special. Love it.

[Alicias]

Fabulous and fun shot! I hope the rain stayed away while you were outside.

[Yao RL]

@alicias I bought a camera rain hood when I was in Beijing, I was trying it out. Not too bad.

[Alicias]

Love this - so unexpected!

[helen]

Great colours and dof!

[Rachel]

Great use of DOF to create an unusual image. Love it :-) I like the way the duck is so monochrome against the vibrant flowers.

[Shepherdman]

Well captured - love the DoF effect.

[Taffy]

What a great way to focus so that our eye is drawn to the duck -- and it has a great expression!

[Lisa Stein]

Great focus! Very lovely image.

[Babs]

Great shot. I reckon he has heard what fantastic photos you take for 365 and wanted to be in on the action.
