Hi Beverley . Good name for the picture. A differnt shot of a flower with its petals gone but still a thing of beauty . Which your close up shows.Good detail and pastle colours. Is that a small aphid on the top ?. Well done TFS.

Hello Beverley,
A fine and unusual image of a Welsh Poppy flower without its petals - a nice title BTW!
The dark BG and lighting show it up well in from a great POV and in a fine composition.
I like the petticoat of stamens!
TFS this beauty,
Ivan

Hi Bev

This is a great shot - very good isolation and focus against a very good BG. Well seen and captured.

Hello Bev
I saw the title and.....now I feel let down!!!
Only Joking Bev...What a fine subject..I would never have thought to even look at a petal less poppy!!
The picture is pretty unique and taken very well indeed..The back ground really makes the picture with its light and dark diagonally crossing....I am rambling now!!
In sum..A really refreshing post with a great title!!
All the Best

Hello Bev,
This is an interesting subject very well captured! Perhaps Poppies are so lovely because of their short lives! But they do leave beautiful seed heads behind too. Great sharpness, lovely colours and a fine soft background in this beautiful composition.
Many thanks and cheers, Ulla

Bonjour Beverley,
Une publication qui ne manque pas d'originalité car ce n'est pas de cette manière que l'on envisage, généralement, de représenter des fleurs !!!
C'est incroyable ce que tu peux faire avec ton objectif car cette composition est proche d'une macro notamment par la finesse des détails.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.

Hi Beverley,
A very interesting capture and even more interesting analogy.

Beautiful composition that is simp0le and yet elegant in every manner. The lighting is used well but i think you had a slight problem with the exposure and focus.But that doesnt mar the beauty of this composition oozing aesthetic qualities and lovely colours.
Fine PoV and DoF.I like the double shade sweeping diagonally across the Bg.

Very well done,
TFS & Cheers
