I couldnt resist capturing these lovely poppy seedheads but then felt they deserved something more…
So for the very first time ever (!) a teensy bit of texture..
Critique and suggestions would be most welcome and hugely appreciated….
Thanks so much for looking
Cheers

Lovely! Background is superb as tht one tiny burst of lilac adds some much contrast to the whole image! Excellent composition! Wonderful treatment as it is very difficult to detect!
thanks joanne really heartening to hear … I’d worried the lilac would have been too distracting so darkened it a tad.. and think i found a great subtle texture to start on… lichen on a flat rock face with really natural rusts and greens..
Thanks heaps my friend
Cheers

Great comp’. Looks like they’re growing as we speak! Nice bright, crisp lighting. I’m not really into flower pictures, but I really like this!
