I have never seen such an elegantly dressed poppy. Beautiful and poetic capture, Debbie!

So used to seeing the poppy in color, it is breathtaking in black and white.

Visiting from BLACK AND WHITE WEEKEND.

This Poppy looks so good in monochrome Debbie. I had a photo of a pink Poppy I was going to use. It had lots of layers of petals, can’t remember the name of it but because of the light coloured petals it didn’t do well as a monochrome photo. Not enough contrast with the background. Yours came out great
