Hi Billy,
Wonderful photo where the backlight illuminated this poppy beautifully. Superb work on both the composition and DOF. Sharpness and exposure a spot on with great soft shades and nice highlights. I am not so sure about the frame and the flower but in the bottom right.

A lovely shot!
Wonderful lighting - great colors. These flowers are beautiful and often overlooked because they are so common.

Hello Billy !
I love this picture, it is very beautiful ! The color of the flower is amazing (I love violett) and the light is truly wonderful. i like it how it shines through the patals, making them look translucent. Nice details and natural colors, splendid composition, beautiful blurred BG. Very well done !
Valerie.
