I do like poppies and was happy to see them among the other flowers in the field. They have a colour and delicacy that always attracts the eye. I decided against a tight crop and chose to show them as an element of the whole.
How lovely a bloom! You’ve captured the fine texture. I’ve tried to grow the perennial variety a couple of times but somehow something was amiss both times. They didn’t last the first winter.
The tight crop works, and I particularly like the upper image, probably in part because of the arc of unfocused purplish flowers along to two sides of the frame, + the poppy is looking at me! A 🙂

Ooh, lovely. Paired with other meadow flowers, such as these blue cornflowers, really makes them shine even more.

I love the color and delicate paper-like
texture of poppy petals. Your shots show
them off well!
