One Red Poppy Remaining · **2 Likes**

Could have called this an abstract, but it seemed just a bit more of nature.
And this is indeed the sort of thing I tend to see in nature, and I'm not sure why.
It is not something usually noticed, but my eye goes right to such cluttered places with the tiniest bit of variation in it.
Critiques and suggestions for what to improve are very welcome.
Angky.

Well done Angky! It is a very nice find as well as a very nice composition. Some would be tempted to get closer in to the poppy to fill more of the frame, but then it wouldn't convey the theme/purpose of the shot that you describe so well.

Thank you, Todd.
I appreciate the perspective you were able to verbalize.
You seem to see right into what I was seeing.
Glad to know the image showed that to you!

I agree with Todd's assessment. The image that you captured is in agreement with what you saw and your theme. Not being familiar with the area where you captured this image, I would not know if any other composition or view would have worked. Thanks for posting. As I have said before, you have knack for recognizing this type of scene.

Nice juxtapositioning of the Red Poppy.

It's interesting to me that I see such scenes and take shots of them.
There were a lot of individual poppies standing up high and isolated and they were quite beautiful.
I shot some of those and this one, but this is the one I preferred--not quite sure why...
Thanks again!

Angky.

Thanks, em.
"Juxtapositioning" really describes it well, doesn't it?
