Backlit Poppy

Still experimenting with my new Sony Alpha 6000

A backlit poppy in our garden, edited in Darktable.

Nice bokeh, contre jour light and colours

Turned out well :)

Very fine focus seeing those 'hairs' on the stem. Colour is above what is expected! lovely shapes!

Great lighting! The bright reds and oranges are very striking

There is even a bug on the stalk, Phil. Great lighting and clarity in your shot. Enjoy your new toy.

Lovely backlight - can't beat it for showing off a delicate-petalled flower like a poppy.
