Naked Poppy

I thought this poppy with no petals looked quite pretty. It's taken at night so that's why the background is quite dark. I used a 1/32 flash so I wouldn't have to have the ISO too high.

This is really good - never seen a poppy at this stage - maybe its only at night you see them like this! Your choice of camera work is just right! fav
