My daughter bought a new poppy plant which finally developed a bud and now bloomed. I like his shot because of its detail and the tiny ant checking the flower out.
Stunning shot! The color and clarity,detail is superb! 5*****!

Excellent! I love this amazing red. So clear and detailed. Is that a tiny ant having climbed its way onto this mountain? :)

Yup, first thing I saw was the ant - years of visual training pays off ! But what a gloriously fragile flower, too . . growing these is the ultimate in participation.

Good afternoon Don,
it is a particularly large and beautiful poppies bloom. The little ant, I discovered, too. The blurred background brings the brilliant colors and light shadows, very well expressed. For this I give you 5 stars ***** for this day is called for rain and thunderstorms. The sky darkens slowly and I hear thunder rumbling in the distance. The heat has become unbearable. I write a mail this evening. We wish you a nice weekend and all the best. Christel and Detlev

WOW! Exquisite is the only word for this! So much detail - the inside almost looks like desert. And the color! wow.
Great catch also with the little critter.
