I know it is more TL photo, as drawing table,
a game with the compaction of my new lens,
however i prefer this place in order to present it.

poppies, the Spring,the nature paints

from wikipedia:
A poppy is any of a number of showy flowers, typically with one per stem, belonging to the poppy family.They include a number of attractive wildflower species with showy flowers found growing singularly or in large groups; many species are also grown in gardens. Those that are grown in gardens include large plants used in a mixed herbaceous border and small plants that are grown in rock or alpine gardens.

This photo is from the environmental park Tritsi in Athens,it constitutes one from the last shelters of wild life in the urban environment of Athens.

thank you for your visit in my collection

have a nice day

Hello Nasos,
Very colorful picture, reminds me of the beautiful waterpaintings of the painter E. Nolde.
Like you I love poppies and here the red and yellow colors are so pleasant and make your picture look very artistic.
Thanks a lot
Anne

Hi Nasos,
excellent composition of the poppies. The sharpness of the petals and the fuits with the greenish blurry background make it so artistic. It makes me think of the French arts...beautiful presentation.

Hello Nasos,
A wonderful shot!
I like the contrast between the poppy flowers and the OOF yellow flowers (dandelions?) in the BG and the composition is superb - like a painting!
Thanks and have a good weekend,
Ivan

ciao Nasos!

Hi Nasos,

Beautiful shallow focus of these poppy flowers. Fine details of the dreamy view. TFS this beautiful shot.

Have a wonderful weekend and best regards,
Jusni

hello Nasos

beautiful Nature Morte photo of thse beautiful flowers,
fine POV, beautiful luminosity and colour tones, TFS

Hi Nasos,

Let me firstly tell I don't feel this photo doesn't belong to TN. Poppy isn't a cultivated plant. :) Great color tones + contrast, and what really amazed me is the intelligent playing with focus and DOF. Quite interesting and gives me ideas to experience more with scenes / pics like Yours - I have a few photos of this kind, with different species of course, but I was never brave enough to post them... Maybe tomorrow. :)

Thank You for this wonderful pic, best regards from Hungary, László

Hello Nasos,
