I was a bit surprised by the texture of this flower. But I like the rendition of the poppy anatomy (bud, flower, stamen and pistil/seed sack.

Nice shot Mike,
The details are nice, clear and sharp.
Good colours, lighting and exposure. DOF is spot on and the POV is good. Poppies have this wrinkled look when they are newly opened.
Well composed and nicely framed.
Thanks for posting, have a great weekend

Hello Mike,
lovely shot of this poppy. Wonderful colors and the details are nice and sharp. This poppy must just have opened, those wrinkles will disapaer soon

Bonjour Mike
La prise est tres belle avec une jolie composition, l'image est très nette, très "pure".
les couleurs sont superbes.
bravo et merci du partage...JP

Hi Mike,
I was surprised to see the texture as well, but luckely, we got a whole bunch of people that know why. Thanks to Alan and Sky.
The photo is perfect, with great details, colors and DOF.
TFS,

Hello Mike, nice shot of the newly open poppy! I think your composition is a little to tight. If you could have pulled back it would have helped DOF cover the span of flower. Regards Steve.

they are great when they are like this aren't they? I have a few that are similar as well, but at 9:15 in the morning those wrinkles should have gone...

croppin gis a touch too close on the RHS for my liking, but I like the picture and you have caught the stamen really well.
