Last phase of a Poppy growing in my back yard. I think they are one of the more interesting flowers to watch, they go through so many changes in appearance.

Post Challenge, looks like a lot of you have seen a poppy up close, I had never looked at one up close before I took this shot and found these seed pods to be very fascinating. Fun challenge thanks for all the comments and guesses.

Weird and interesting! Nice observation! Is it a mushroom? Nice DOF and focus!

My eye keeps looking at all the interesting blurry parts and keeps coming back to the very focused parts. It's a good blend, I think!

Looks mushroomy. But not so much that I'm sure of what I'm seeing. I like the curves in the composition and the perpindicular lines.
