Poppy Head by phil_howcroft

Poppy Head

Continuing with the garden flower theme, here is a poppy head about to flower in our garden.

It looks like it is sticking it's tongue out at me !

I never photographed these poppies last year as they were trashed and wrecked by the wet June we had.

Maybe I should have been a bit more careful with my choice of background as the green yellow bokeh blends in a bit too neatly with the poppy head and distracting from the fine detail.


This is beautiful

Yes I see what you mean, with a dark background those hairs would be magnificent but no mean photo all the same!! Tomorrow perhaps?
