Like this one. The dof really makes the nearest flower jump out, the 2nd flower balances the composition nicely. The background seems a bit dark at first, but it does help to show of the main subject.
Nice one.

Thanks, Dave.
The background could do with a little more brightening, just a tad I guess.

How nice (and typical of you, Paul) to see a photograph of non-pristine poppies with crinkled petals and pollen sprinkled about. The out of focus flower acts as a kind of echo.
Best wishes,
Andrew

I too like the idea of the background echo of the second flower.
Best regards, John

Thanks, guys. I also liked the petal arrangement of the two of them.
Andrew, they're 'soiled' and 'used' I guess!

A lovely pair of poppies! It's not going to be just once, Pauly, is it?

Thanks lidy, you can never say never I guess, but I tend not to photograph flowers that much.
