Simplicity is nature's first step and the last of art. Light is everything in photography. Here I isolated one poppy instead of shooting an entire field which has become commonplace, and waited for the right light and chose a profile view. Edited until it became what I was striving for.

Thanks so much, Pedro.
I love this shot Christina, the lighting and compositional balance are both superb.
Simple, but oh so effective.
Much appreciated , Alan.
