Sundrenched poppy

While at the Botanic Gardens the other day, I couldn't resist the way the light was catching the poppies. I wonder how they look now, after lots of wind and rain over the past few days….

Wow amazing capture, the light in this image is lovely especially how it highlights the hairs on the stems, and the transparency of then petals :) instant fav!

FAV -- spectacular capture of a difficult subject! I find it so hard to capture poppies well because of their texture, yet I find them so alluring. This is beautifully done.
