Poppies in Galway

Poppies in Galway


One of my surviving poppies in my back garden in Galway city. Photographed with a 180mm Sigma macro lens. The petal has folds in it, which is why parts of the image is out of focus (though pleasingly so).

    Wow! I love it. Shame you’re in it though :-) Could this be considered a self-portrait?

    lovely shot, stands out from the ’standard’/boring flower shots.
    What lens shot with?

    It’s shot with a Sigma macro lens. It’s really the light that makes it special – it gave a beautifully contrasty feel to the image.
