Lonely, but Dashing

comments welcome

Good shot, well done

Thanks Etienne, very kind.

While the red poppy is definitely stunning in its central position of the jewel in the crown, I'm sure it would hold its strength still if it was placed according to the rule of thirds, and I don't think the closest grain heads on the bottom right are totally necessary, so a crop putting the flower in this corner might be most effective.

Thank you for the valuable critique. what do you think:
