Description
I seem to remember Andrea posting a poppy head close up. So I called this the imposter because of that. This is what was left after a gust of wind removed the last two petals. The collar of stamens got broken with the falling petals too!
Taken with the old Tamron 90 mm f2.8 macro lens, so about 142mm effectively on a C sensor Dslr. It was stopped down to f 18 for the shot though for greater DOF.

Superb capture Kev. Love the details in this, the tighter aperture paid off here my friend.
That is a super 'hair do'.
Brilliant! I am tempted to make a hat like that.
I really wondered what I was going to see...it looks like chenille - or an exotic plant doesn't it? You would never dream it was a poppy. Just look at those white spines! Another thought - Love Lies Bleeding! (Amaranthus caudatus)
brilliant!! never knew about the velvet?!!
Wonderfully detailed capture!
Such beautiful structure to these flowers; they're amazing at every stage. Wonderful capture of the purple fuzz!
Good stuff. I can imagine this having a human face!
Fantastic image here love the close up shot.
Superb capture my friend. God bless.
