1. I love the close ups
particularly the last one. It really highlights the complimentary colors of the poppy. :thumbsup:

3. Fabulous....
in particular I really love the last one. What is it about red and orange that is so hard to photograph?

8. That's my biggest issue (light) when trying to get a red to look red or an orange to look orange
The colors don't always translate for me (I see one thing, I shoot another). I mainly just play around to I get it. :)

4. Amazing. I could smell them, honestly.
Used to grow poppies and as I looked at the first pic the smell came rushing back.

That last closeup is for sure a bee's eye view.
Wonderful to see them again, even closer than I ever got to the center.
