Oriental Poppy

A few views of a brilliant oriental poppy. So hard to capture the grandeur.
C&C always valued, thanks for looking.

Absolutely great shot! Love the detail on the buds, the crumpled petals and the black background.

Great Set! I especially like the lighting in #1&2. Also, good close-up of the pollen. Good job.

All nice pics but #2 for me, it's nice and sharp and it just pops against that dark background.

Thanks very much guys. I'm trying to mature with my flower photography. I think somebody said your first 10,000 flower photos are your worst, so...

The day after these were shot, a stiff breeze came through and took all but one petal off of the poppy. I was sad, but there's another bud.

I like the first one best. I misread the title and thought it read "puppy".
