Wonderful shot Harvey. I might try to lighten the central area to bring more interest to it.

Very cool shot - I am wondering how you get f/22.6 though?

Excellent macro Harvey!
I think I would prefer a tad cropped from the right hand side to give a touch of balance, and a hint of levels/curves to brighten it up just a pinch.
Still, .......... looks wonderful to me!!

While it says f22 through the camera, the exif information in Breeze Browser lists it as f22.6. It lists f11 as f11.3. It reads an evaluative metering photo as evaluative metering in a jpeg filw and if it's a RAW files it reads it as multi segmented.

Beautiful Harvey. A little bit of dodging on the stamens would really pull them out IMO.

Loves the colors in this Harvey! Also very pleasing composition too. This is just my preference speaking, but I'd be tempted to clone out those little specks of pollen to have a bit cleaner look. I know they are part of the flower but they pull my eye away from the great color and comp a bit.

Not at all what I was expecting for a white poppy. Cool shot. I wouldn't change a thing.

Great background and composition! I'm with Ken, I'd like to the central area a bit lighter.

Lovely flower. The center appears a bit dark to me as well. A little more work in PS and it this will stand out even more. Well done and thanks for sharing.

Very good, Harvey. I like the composition, with the slight lean to the left.
