This was taken in the Poppy Preserve in Lancaster, Ca. It was very windy and cold but the Poppies were everywhere and beautiful.
Adjustments of contrast and sharpness.

This is a nice shot. I'm wondering if a bit more light would've given a touch more definition to the flowers that you are focused on. However, the blending of the oranges does well for the warm challenge. I guess I just gave you two conflicting opinions! Oh well!
I believe that a tighter crop eliminating the green in the upper right would have been more pleasing to the eye. Good job of getting the California State flower just before they opened a bit more and started "blurrrrring" in the nreeze.
