Big Poppy

[mistral105]

Hi All

3 different images of a big poppy in our garden - flower is looking a bit frayed and probably won't last much longer as it has just started to rain heavily.

Used 5DMKII = 100mm f2.8 macro + STE3 + 2x600RTs off camera.

Regards John

All quite stunning, but number 2 has the edge for me. The composition is a little stronger and therefore more pleasing.

Re: Big Poppy

Another vote for #2

Number two for me with the cup of the flower facing to the left. That said all three would make some great wall art across a broad wall.

Re: Big Poppy

Number two is really striking.

Thanks everyone for the comments - the rain we had last night has stripped off the petals. Regards John
