From my garden

[Mazzie]

I love poppies and have some in my garden.
The first one was taken early morning.

This second one was the same poppy about a week later after the rain. They don't last very long .....

Still just me and my camera. What do you think. Comments and suggestions as always very helpful to me as a learner.

Re: From my garden

I also like poppies and we have a variety in out garden, as yuo say they don't last long particularly with the rain.

I like #1 the poppy is nicely framed and the coulours blend well with some subtle back lighting of the petals

In #2 and #3 I would have experimented with some fill flash as you were shooting into the sky and in #3 a slightly different position to the left or lower down would have removed the bright white spot in the bottom left hand corner.

Well done keep them coming

Like how you've got the shadows of the trees leaves showing on number one. In number three, if you'd got the red of the flowers showing just against the blue of the sky, this could be a stunning shot. imho

..says me, I always make the mistake of not looking at the background
