Cloud Poppies
Yoshizen and I have been talking about poppies lately, and our conversations have inspired me to look at poppies from another angle. Here are a few more of Miss Mary’s poppies, this time with a cloud-covered sky in the background.
This first one has a bit of a soft focus that, to me, makes it look more like a painting than a photograph.
The next two are crisper and more clearly photographed images.
I’d like to try this again soon, but hopefully with a blue sky.

love the soft focus one.

This was the one I was waiting to see 🙂 I just forwarded this one to Juliet to cheer her up today. Gorgeous shots Lemony!

Beautiful, so beautiful… Thank you dear Melanie, fascinated me again. Have a nice day, love, nia

The towering first one seems more of a Surrealist —– such as Lune Margit (?).
Impressive !

Beautiful. The cloudy sky was a perfect background.

The first one reminds of a watercolour painting 🙂
As for the other two photos, they’re absolutely gorgeous, and I like how you caught that fly in flight in the third one :3

All beautiful!

SImply gorgeous. The simplicity of the first shot is perfect.

These are gorgeous. Love the little bug flying away in the last one.

Beautiful and creative compositions. the first one is almost an abstract. The second suggests an Asian print and the last reminds me of illustrations from Naturalist books of the late 1800’s.

All nice, I like the last one best, with lovely petal details, buds, and the escaping fly – the high-key background is cool.

I like all three, Melanie.

Great set!
I specially like the last one; the detail is great, and the fly is a great touch here!

Vraiment beau! Une façon de se pencher sur les coquelicots qui donne une magnifique série très épurée ou la fleur est la reine.
