Every year at this time, this wild poppy blooms at the base of my neighbor's garden gate. It's a very persistent poppy.....

Re: Wild Poppies
Thank heavens that poppy is so persistent! It would be a shame to lose such a beautiful flower. In your shot, I like the fact that the one bloom is sharp and in focus, and the rest of the plant is a bit soft. The single plane of focus, and very subdued lighting, create a beautiful effect.
Best,

Re: Wild Poppies
Hey, I have those in my tiny front yard! Mine are if anything a bit less orange, more a pure yellow. I call these Welsh poppies - but I don't know where I got that from. I didn't plant them, but I tolerate them (I'll tolerate almost anything that can live under the north-facing shade there), and they're spreading along the street year by year.
Re: Wild Poppies
Very well done, Graham. Ditto Dennis's comments about focus.

Can't go wrong with orange and green. Lovely shot, Graham.
