What a lovely colour there, would love a tight crop on just the bloom itself, this would remove some of the background and make for a more appealing image.

Good strong colour: nature has a way of doing this very well. I think it would be even better with slightly more depth of field: the two closest poppies are a bit soft on my monitor.
I do like these plants but think I'd need to garden on acid soil to grow them successfully (not a gardening forum, I know!)

I like flower pictures, therefore this one appeals to me. The blue colour is nice and delicate. Overall a good portrait of a blue poppy.
Exposure seems spot on. However, I feel it lacks a little in sharpness.
At the same time I would have thrown the background more out of focus by using a larger aperture.

Agree with the above but also feel that overall impact of the image would have been greater had the point of focus been adjusted to include more detail in the stigma and stamens. This would have had the additional benefit of helping to throw the background more out of focus.

Sadly yes until next year maybe. Taken at Coleton Fishacre garden in Devon.
