My, what a beautiful poppy with impact. Great photo Mary.

Mary I understand your regret, we have here during the last two week rain, spashing, now the whole WE, and the poppies are blossoming. Have patience - it will be works for you! This one is a very nice shot, maybe you could bring behind the leaf leftside, here, myself, I didnot work so much with PS, it should look more nature. Just an idea.
