The Private Life of a Poppy - a photo on Flickriver

            Spring is just about in the air here in the UK with the crocuses and snow drops showing themselves once again. This image is from late last spring on a day I was messing around with an old fixed aperture projector lens that was adapted to fit on my Sony A7ii. I think this was the first time I'd used it with an extension tube for flower photography and it proved to be quite good at it.

This was another shot that I entered into the "Creative" competition last week at my camera club. In fact the middle of the flower head hasn't been touched but the surrounding area has had a topaz filter lightly applied to it to give it a more painterly look.
