i really like the texture of the grasses, and the soft poppy against them. Not so sure about the inclusion of the strong stem diagonally across the composition.

A Ca Poppy lost in the grasses! Or found. YEAH! I love those flowers. In this case, I really do miss the colour though (I think, not sure ...)

First Impressions: This image is more abstract than other images I commented on making it more difficult for me to comment. My first reaction is - what am looking at? It is a flower but I would not guess it is a Californian poppy. The flower is the most dominant element in the image but it is not in focus so the focal point is achieved by the light shades of the petals. The background is dominated by a diagonal dark line, not sure if it is a stalk or a part of another plant. The background has some blurred leaves and many lines that look like light rays. The effect is very 3 dimensional. This way the background has depth.
Technique: out of focus macro, not sure how that is done?
Suggestions: none

Overall an intriguing 3 dimensional photo in abstract style that I am trying to understand

Very cool, it has a sense of motion but still seems grounded.

This is quite lovely. Quiet, but with a hint of disharmony if that makes sense.

I'm listening to some classical music whilst commenting and the Adagio I'm listening fits this image beautifully.
