Wow.

I'm not sure if I think the shallower depth of field worked with this one or not. Partially, I think that may be because I'm not sure, visually, which is actually the dominant flower int he grouping and since some of the portions I'm drawn to are out of focus.... Love the color combination and the touch of white space in LL corner. I think the OOF stems also bug me a little bit. All in all though, one of my fav images this go round.

Beautiful colors. I also like the thaw on the blossoms. Still I don't understand why you left the lower left corner empty. I think it would have looked better when there would be flowers , too.

Nice, congratulations!!

I like the mix of colors. Could be a little clearer and I don't like the white background in the lower left. Composed a little diff would help.

GREAT SHOT! Vibrant colors and nicely arranged. Most importantly, in FOCUS!! Wonderful picture.

Lovely lively colors. Maybe those staples are not necessary...
07/18/2002 05:40:00 PM
very nice colour combo :)
07/18/2002 05:33:00 PM
Nice colors.
07/18/2002 04:29:00 PM
love the colors alot, wish they were a tad sharper, sorry but I hate the background - seems to dull to me for such vibrant flowers. good job. 7 cthenk

I think a background that is an orange-yellow color would have worked better. It easy to think that it should contrast with the flowers but in this case, with flowers, I think it is just the opposite. nice cropping.

I feel like there should be another poppy in the bottom left hand corner....
07/17/2002 06:52:00 PM

Nice color and dof.
07/17/2002 01:32:00 PM
I like the way you have cropped this one.

Love flowers
07/17/2002 12:13:00 PM
very nice
07/17/2002 10:17:00 AM
i never knew poppies were this color...
07/17/2002 08:22:00 AM
Brilliant colors. Makes me happy.
07/16/2002 10:31:00 PM
Gorgeous. You are getting a 10 from me. (I have only given 3 others)
07/16/2002 09:14:00 PM
fairly good detail. composition with stems on lower left is distracting
07/16/2002 02:17:00 PM
beautiful study of poppies--you ave the thin weedy stalks contrasting with the bright blowsy petals--lovely.
07/16/2002 02:11:00 PM
Very nice job on composition, color, and arrangement. The DOF works well and the foreground is in focus. I suggest that it could use a touch more sharpening (personal preference), which should only be done after resizing (or so the experts say and my experience confirms). Overall a VERY nice job on this photo :-)
07/16/2002 11:20:00 AM
The empty bottom left corner is distracting,needs a flower there.
07/16/2002 02:45:00 AM
very nice use of pull-focus. great color contrast with the sky, and a nice composition.
07/15/2002 08:33:00 PM
beautiful colors
07/15/2002 08:20:00 PM
I'm not a "flower" person, but hey, this is nice!
07/15/2002 06:56:00 PM
very nice macro
07/15/2002 05:28:00 PM
Lovely photo. Would have liked an extra poppy in the bottom left. There seems to be dead space without it."7" Dogman :-)
07/15/2002 05:06:00 PM
Nice, nice composition. You could of left off the stems and placed yet a few more flowers to fill that space. Still I like this, good colors. Nice job. Kee

Lovely shot, really like the "dew", nice touch. Not thrilled with large negative areas with colors this bold. Excellent focus. 9 Swash

this is great , love that you show the stems. It cuts the frame nicely
07/15/2002 08:41:00 AM
Very pretty. Really nice colors. I don't like the white space in the lower left.
07/15/2002 07:55:00 AM
Really nice. Sharp with great color and a non-distracting background.
07/15/2002 03:01:00 AM
Nice colors and good focus. I might have tried filling the frame with the flowers, and not left the blank white space.
