'Project 52, 2017 - Week 4 - January 22'
There are times while searching out images to take and it is usually with my Macro Lens, I come across flowers that at once make me smile and cause me to delight in their beauty. This Poppy was one. The petals so delicate, that if there is a strong wind or blustery rainfall, the petals often don't survive. But if one is so fortunate to see them before the weather has damaged them, one can appreciate their petals that are almost as thin as onion skin. To me they are so feminine and happy flowers.

A fantastic image and intriguing creation. worth viewing again and again.
You have captured the poppies delicate petals and, subtle yet rich colors perfectly.
It is the application of several vintage techniques that adds a contemplative depth to the image.
An unusual and highly creative blend of the wet print, contact print and Daguerreotype effect add interesting detail and contrast. It is the scientific classification sketchbook feel that ultimately has us pondering about this fragile beauty and, its ability to survive throughout the millennia.
