Shot this one way back at the beginning of the month on a hike at Briones, and its stuck in my mind ever since. Perhaps too simple for a free study, but something about it I really like. Not much editing; a little USM and maybe a touch of levels (edited it awhile back and didn't keep notes), but other than that this one is pretty close to straight from the camera.
Shot at 220mm, laying down in the grass from about 10 feet away or so as far as I can remember.

lovely color, i probaly would have chosen a flower that was fully open, but the way you did it you got more shadow on the flower itself. cool focus too
oh very nice indeed, it is lovely to see a flower portrait in its natural enviroment and you captured it so well with this low angle. this is a ready made print, well done 10
Ah, our friends, the California poppies. Beautiful as is, it would also be good looking if the left part was cropped to concentrate the viewer's attention on the threesome that stands out so perfectly.
