Bob and Kim, thanks for taking a closer look. Kim, there are those who rate originality on the subject matter, and those who hate flower shots. I just accept that. I used a +3 quantaray magnifying filter on these and I was pleased with how it threw the background grasses out of focus.

Daft ratings as Kim says. Never mind - it's a beauty. Can' decide between this and the previous. Both very good indeed.

Thankyou all. Linda, it is similar to Roger's albeit not quite as serendipidous. In our mild climate these poppies appear and reappear well into the autumn and are often a cheery splash on an otherwise dreary landscape so they make me smile.

I really like this capture! I have to admit I have tried taking shots of the ones I have in my yard but I can't get the blur. I tried today in the wind lol that didnt work eather, now I see that you used a filter I dont have. drats! :^) Any way this is very pretty.

Ronda, think about buying the Canon 500D close-up filter for your 24-105L or your 100-400L and it will open up new opportunities for you. It's an excellent quality filter. Failing that you could go for a Hoya or Quantaray set of 3 which are less complex and cheaper. They can be stacked but that reduces quality and depth so you need to manual focus and be precise. Thanks for stopping by.
