california poppies
by Michael Puff

Montara, California

An IR taken on a cloudy and misty morning. Converted to b&w with channel mixer and then finished as a duotone using 2 shades of warm gray.

Michael, I esp like how the flower forms rise to contrast with the subtle, simple background. Nice use of DOF and IR...nice shot. MFC

Michael, this is just beautiful-- wonderfully composed, beautiful lighting, and so darned sharp. Well done! --Nancy/JoseNoway

A beautiful image and effect, Michael. I remember your California Poppies in color; how nice to have such a beautiful and delicate subject. Bev
