Superb Maggie, great work …

Stunning work #1.
Well done.

Superb!!!! stunning, and all those other great words :>)))) love it.. xx

OOOOOOOO Maggie!!!!!! We’re doing ART now!!!!!! I mean SERIOUS ART!!!!! WOOO HOOOOOOO!!! This girl has all kinds of creative things just busting out of her, that’s for sure!!!!!! Another Maggie – Fave for my fave box!!!!!! Stunning!!!! how I love poppies … and your experiment is a huge success!!!!! Let’s just sit back now and watch the Features roll on in!!!!!

This a beautiful piece of art. Caught my eye right away. Composition has a perfect flow and balance..the eye moves through the image…starting and ending with the powerful pop of Red poppy. A fav 4 sure.

Maggie, I’ve got a couple of dozen poppy shots in my computer … just this gorgeous red … but they were taken out in the field … on a breezy day … and I’m not happy with the dof … plus … I apparently don’t do red very well (LOL) ... so anytime I see a really good poppy shot my mouth just waters!!!! Not to mention your EXTREMELY clever artistic treatment!!! Yes, sweetie, it’s good enough!!!! Now, run to enter it into some groups, too!!!!!

Don’t know how you do this – too clever for me, but such a successful experiment Love it!

Nicely isolated Ding. Gorgeous image.

This is just superb, Maggie! What a very clever piece of artwork! (you must have the patience of a saint with PS!!) Impressive indeed!! :)

I like it, Maggie. The red really pops this way. Well done.

A classic combination of red, white and black, I dont think that your typo detracts from the image at all maggie, focal point being that big red poppy head, as it should be, ....... proficiently sorted maggie, well done …........ :))

helloooooo down hereeeerreeee…

hi :) I am going to whisper how lovely this is, good flower choice, paper poppies are sold around here for rememberance and the treatment you gave, it is haunting beautiful, well done over all there sailor, good job.

This absolutely gorgeous Maggie, I love your use of negative space as well!

Excellent composition and processing, Maggie ! It really focuses the eyes on the flower head. I had a nice laugh imagining you struggling to get the lasso off the mouse too – been there, done that ! :))

:)) You did very well with it, it’s nice to see the enlarged view !

stunning!!! love the minimalism of this!

amazing capture Maggie you have been so thoughtful, thank you for your comments and I will email
soon my friend.

Outstanding work, dear Maggie!

STUNNING fav for me :-))

Excellent work you did onthis.Outstanding!!!!

Beautiful ! Very nicely done !

great work

This great … very striking … very graphic and rich

perfect;

love this image the way you have created the graphic blaCK AND WHITE WITH THE STEM THEN THE BRILLIANT RED COLOUR OF THE PETALS AND THE and the composition great (by the way im not shouting i just keep hitting the caps lock key)

as a musician and artist these are the happy accidents that we have to regonise and leave in the japanese poters and artsists of old instead of throwing away imperfect pots as a disaster would embrace the imperfection as a gift they allso would leave slight imperfections in thier work believing that only the gods where perfect and did not want to oofend them by trying to out do them often when i am mixing or recording somthing will happen i may play a wrong note or drop somthing out by accident in the mix and it will make the traCK OR MAKE ME THINK IN ANOTHER DIRECTION (hit that caps btn again)

This works, and works beautifully. You make a strong case for tackling that damn lasso tool, too. Did you use a Wacom or Cintiq tablet? Love the minimalism.

Someone’s getting pretty clever with the nasty art of editing!! Fabulous artwork Dinghy!!
Sorry; I bet this is straight out of the camera isn’t it. My camera can do that too. LOL!!! xx

LOL did you see it came about as a typo…LOL… but who cares… it came out heaps better than what i had in mind (sc)...
teehee.. thanks and you have the cleverest camera of them all..
:)

What a beauty.

Gorgeous !!!!!!!

Oh this is so wonderful

SOFT.STRONG.EXTRAORDINARY.TOP.SHOT

Oh so perfect – fantastic with the white and black – love it. Liz

Stunning art, like lots of space here!!!!!

I adore this shot, Maggie!
It’s gorgeous.

How beautiful – going to check out the wildlife-appeal page now. Great work, Maggie!

Congratulations on your TOP TEN FINISH in the That’s Entertainment group’s Black & White & Red All Over challenge! :)

WOW, explosion of beauty! You had more fun than I did! – excellent!!!

I know that sinking feeling… almost capsized and then ther is a little umpf that pulls you out of the ditch into a full sail.

The simplicity of this image is overwhelming it is so powerful, love that RED colou
Cheers
Rock

great…ove the minimalism!

sorry…i mean love

this turned out spectacular, love the minimal look you achieved and the white background makes for real drama with the poppy!!!

Elegant image!

that’s awesome!!! it works out really well. it’s so versatile in a commercial point of view. totally worth all the hours and effort you put in. as for suggestions, i would recommend just taking the poppy and shooting it in a high key studio set up hahahaha. i’m so lazy. i hate post production and things like that. so i have huge respect for this poppy of yours!! well done.

Absolutely beautiful Maggie.

Stunning capture!!! :D :D

Very fine work, you did an expert job, fantastic result !!

lovely work

Absdlutely elegant!Lovely..
