This is a strikingly beautiful look at this poppy, Patricia. The subtle, but well coordinated colors are lovely and the details are excellent.

Patricia - Stunning pastel shades. Having seen these Poppies, I can imagine why you were attracted to it. They are so very pretty. And if you did not know, something called Opium comes from these - from the commercial varieties indecision

Congratulations on a fine image Patricia! I especially like this particular blend of pastel shades, and the slight amount of introduced grain in your processing works very well..
