Ditto on the comments so far! My favorite thing is that I can see the sprinkle of pollen on the lower petals! This is a beautiful photograph!

A famous Persian poet had always said, "One must live, as long as the poppies bloom".
This is so beautiful Ron.

Amazing! The balance of light and dark is just perfect. The colors are rich, and the details are spot on. The wisp of weed in the background completes it all. Perfection! :)
