Poppy Heads
by davidstorm
I think Andrew (bwlchmawr) once commented on one of my pictures that the dying or seeding stage of flowers is often more beautiful than the flowering. I think he is right when it comes to certain plants.

Sharp, nice.
If you make a small slit in one of these with a razor blade, it will reward you with a little white photogenic ooze.

Thanks Nuri, I have previously posted a macro of a poppy head (it is still in my portfolio) but I often prefer compositions as opposed to macro shots.
Thanks also everyone else for the positive comments on my picture.

Wow Maria, you really have a keen eye! I didn't even notice the face until you pointed it out!
Thanks to everyone for the kind comments on this picture.
