Ripening poppy seedpod

The petals fell off leaving just the stamens and the seed pod.

Thank you Giulio

Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

A lovely capture which poses lots of questions to the photographer ?
Should I change my PoV or the f stop in order to gain more DoF to get everything in focus, or should I focus on one area ?
I think I agree with what you have done to draw the eye to the front stamens and leave the viewer's brain to fill in the rest.
An interesting one !

Best regards
