Extra Info:
Bright orange California Poppies. Pretty both in color and B&W. I liked the way flowers are backlit by the bright sun.

After a long winter and an iffy Spring, these poppies are like a breath of fresh air. Kudos for the unusual angle and uplifting subject.

Good BW tones, maybe a bit too much brightness in the flowers, but it is the idea in this picture, I think. In my favorites.

An unusual effect, but IMO, B+W does not do justice to these lovely flowers.

Superb photo. I love the shadows of the overlapping petals.

Very nice focus, lighting, composition also like the down low perspective. high in my top picks.

Like the rhythmic line of the flowers. Would be improved with less exposure; detail is lost in the blossoms, and there is no true black point.

I like the angle of your photo, taking the photo of the flowers so low. Can't even see in them really adds to the pic, and being backlit so we see the shadows adds to the effect. Nice!
