Poppy III

Another poppy. this one found at Dig's Nursery on Vashon Island. My wife was buying up bunches of this and that. I soothed my burning wallet by shooting this whilst waiting. The nursery mgr did not mind me shooting and the elaborate set-up...which included my tripod and dragging my black cloth to drape over the wall for a background. I guess when your wife is buying out the place...they will accommodate most anything.

Well Ken, I'm glad she "afforded" you the time for such a fantastic portrait. There seems to be a haze of some sort following the stem down. Great control of the reds.

Love the detail, especially in the red! A minor nit is the mostly OOF stem. Also, there is some kind of artifact behind the stem in the large image.

Tech specs?

Great details and colours. The dark BG works very well.
