Flora were popular at the show, therefore gave me some motivation to take a picture of a flower I haven't yet tried. Comments welcome,

I like the way you filled the frame with this one. Tack sharp on the parts that count with nice soft petal edges. Well done.

Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

Thank you Larry, not an easy flower to shoot, considering it's rather large span.

Just beautiful...the wrinkles in the petals are what do it for me.

Thanks Dana! I am fond of them too (the wrinkles). Neat looking flower, my first poppy.
