Close-up of a California poppy at a natural grassland near my home. At the moment of the shot, the petals were just beginning to open for the day. All comments are appreciated.

Love the colors, the softness and comp with just a peek at the more focused interior. Very pleasing image.

Phil: Great to have you posting again over here. This is excellent IMO. The orange radiating away from the tiny POF is marvelous. 2 thumbs up! >=))>

Good analogous relationship of colors. I like the tiny POF. I keep looking at this and wishing for a little more room (or a little less, for that matter).

Very lovely, sensuous feel to this, Phil. I think you've got your dof choice spot on for the desired effect.

I love the colors and the looks to the stamen in the center. Very nice.
