Poppy Central

“This stop poppy central! All aboard!”

I photographed this icelandic poppy in Julian’s garden. (Julian, my eight year old son, has his own garden that he designed and we planted together.)

What interests me is the selective depth of field, so that the center of the poppy is clear but the background is pleasantly unsharp.
