Day 18 - Backyard Poppy

I love these; I have some yellow and red ones in my front garden and was going to shoot a red yesterday. There's something about a flower that simply can't be cut and put in a bundle that is perfect (for those who don't know, they won't make it five minutes, or so I'm told); it won't be captured in real life, so this is the best we can do! This is a nice capture. The one I've done as a yellow (with a butterfly in it) looked flat and awful. You've done a really good job with the textures in the petals and the details in the center.

This really does look like a dream to me, one that the dreamer has let us in on (though I think the dreamer sees the boy, not that the boy is the dreamer). There is a strong story here, talking to me through the image and the processing. Fav.

So I'm finally catching up, and I see how this fits with my front part of the horse shot :) I cropped mine just a very little, too. I wonder what would happen if we grafted the shots together . . . would be fun to try to get two shots like this and put them together (having shot them with that in mind). Delightful tones in this.

Lovely composition, excellent processing, such control over process to get the result you want, and a result that has such impact.

Excellent use of contrast here to emphasize the ordinary and force us to look at it, really look at it. Nicely seen and captured. I need to open my eyes when I'm out with my shot, instead of searching for a preconceived shot.

How did you pay that model? Prints for time? Brilliantly spotted and shot, and I love the high contrast conversion.

This is a really strong shot; I agree with Jack about maybe a higher crop. Those lights are giving you digital artifacts as well as messing with your composition. The sky is brilliant, I love it!

I guess I don't find this scary at all; I've had a real live view of a cat from this perspective (woke up with them sleeping near my head enough times); to me it screams of the comfort and ease of a cat's life.

I think this does seem a bit crowded and busy, but that's what these places are like, and that's why this is such a good shot! Excellent contrast in this shot to emphasize the starkness of places like this, where they shoehorn in a ton of bric a brac in the hopes of making it feel homey (I think that's why they do it); almost as if your eyes fell on pure space you might get up and leave without paying! Nicely shot to capture that feel.

Wonderful composition here, with nice tones, if not as extreme as yesterday's. The moist insides really come through. By the way, tried to add you as a fav photog but couldn't -- you were already there! Oops . . .
