@milaniet Thank you, Milanie, for your kind comment!
Please forgive me - obviously I have you kicked very roughly from the comment list yesterday. I am very sorry! Yesterday I was not properly organized. I hope you're not too bad to me.

Great contrast. Lovely photo.

Great contrasts. Love that still there are a lot of shadows and structures in the white. Glad you enjoyed a summer day in the garden.

An intriguing art photo of a poppy, which I presume was red? Most people would have kept it in colour but it works very well in monochrome including of course the point of view and the crop. Well done!

Thanks for your nice comment, Madeleine!

Yes, you're right: The poppy I photographed was red. I made it white - because of design intent.
But there is in reality also white-flowered poppy! For example: https://www.baumschule-horstmann.de/bilder/popup/orientalischer-mohn-perrys-white-m012453_h_0.jpg
