Well that certainly is a closeup. Fantastic detail on the centre of the flower.

great shot, looks quite unreal.

Nice

Excellent..

Beautiful White poppy, never seen one quite like this = )

Very nice. I really like that you have it de-centered. But... I can't help but notice it has... WATER DROPLETS!!!!!!!!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, love the sign, never seen that before! Mind you, we don't have poppy fields in the UK..

it was in Tasmania, where they have lots of poppy fields for the manufacture of Paracetamol. Most poppies were nearly white in colour, so I really loved this one with lots of red ones.

are you sure they make paracetamol from poppy? isn't it something stronger?

Gee author - you sure get around The only place the opium poppies are grown in Aust is Tassie, they are so pretty though.

An interesting sign, and I love poppies = )

Great high res..

Very nice, almost abstract = )

lovely, reminds me of a Georgia O'Keeffe painting.

Nice composition

Great details!

well done! poppy seeds are tinny-tiny!

My favorite kind = )

I like how you did this one. most people don't realize it, but floral shots are better when they aren't looking directly at the face of the flower, but more from a side point. the texture on the center of this poppy is beautiful, and the bokah in the background is awesome. Good luck!

thank u so much for ur encouraging comment, good luck to u too with ur entries

Great focus ! Good luck !
