 I took some pictures during the weekend, but none of them seemed good to me. This morning, while driving to work, I saw this field with poppies. I love poppies; they reminds me the famous Monet's painting. Unfortunately, I am not Monet; I tried to frame the whole field, but I didn't manage to take a good photo, so, as usual, I focused on one flower only.

Holding back the tears 'cause nothing here has grown. Like the contrast, even though I'm not at all a fan of harsh lighting on such subjects.

Too much bright sunshine on the flower for my taste but nicely composed with the grasses as the backdrop.

such a brilliantly bright day...to me it seems that the sun just drains all the richness out of this picture...and you have such potential with the rich tones

Maybe it's just me, but there's too much going on in this image? I don't know..

I'd call it orange, but I still like it.
