Poppy Failure

No need to comment. Have been trying to capture this poppy for two/three hours. Nothing worked. Popped to Post office to order some euros and when I came back half the petals had fallen off. Just about sums it up really.

I think this shot is gorgeous anyways!

Sometimes nature wins! (almost always actually) this is a super pic, the high key works just right.

[Dianna Coile]

Sometimes you just have to go with it! I like the texture, dof and the high key treatment. Still a nice shot.

[Julie Duncan]

Well, you know I think this is a great shot! ;)

I like it as it is… the fallen petals did you a favour!

a great shot - I particularly like the DoF - the choice of high key was a good one

[Margaret Brown]

I think it did you a favour too, love it, fav

I love your description- I am sorry you were having that kind of a day, but I think this is a great shot :)

It makes for a beautiful and interesting pic though - and a popular one :)

[Jill Hempsall]

Wow - what's wrong with this shot Jane? I love your processing - the high key works a treat.You have so much detail in there too and that pink is just beautiful. Congrats on PP!
