Description
I noticed this poppy's cover move. I got the shots as it pushed it's hat off. They have very small DOF. I had to focus on the petal tops where the movement from the opening bud happened. I have never managed to see one opening before. Just hat on or off.

Brilliant series! I remember the taste of these when as a child I'd been pulling them off and then licked my fingers. Nasty.
Stunning captures and collage my friend. God Bless.
