Description
A beautiful, fully open, orange Oriental Poppy photographed half in bright sunlight and half cast in shadow. The open blossom shows how spectacular the inside of a peony can be even when in the shade. This photo captures the wonderful subtle peach, orange and yellow pastel coloring of the petals from center to the outer edges. A photographic trick highlights the poppy with the contrast of bright sun with shade on the fragile petals. The wondrous inner poppy shows off the fantastic array of Stamens, anthers, filaments and Pistels while exhibiting a second array of their shadows on the sunlit petals.
