Poppy fading away

I tried so hard to get focus on this, I must have took around 80 shots. with all manner of different settings. This was the best one I got, far from perfect, but I think it shows interesting textures.

@fbailey @lovingandsharing Thank you so much ladies, you're too kind, and I'm pleased you like this. I have come to the conclusion my camera doesn't like to take close ups of anything beige!

Nice shot, Suzanne. Sounds like it's time for you to investigate your camera's automatic focusing system...
