The poppies in the west coast of the US are just as orange as the poppies in Sweden are red. This had a red blur from another flower on the side so I cropped and rotated the image with the idea of some kind of abstract sunset in mind. You have to squint your eyes really hard, maybe close them completely or just look at a regular sunset to see it (or be me ;-)

• Hej pa dej! When the poppy popped up on my screen, I said "OH MY". It is the most beautiful photograph of a poppy I've seen. I agree with all the comments above! You are a true artist! When's your book coming out? Sign me up! I'm so happy our paths have crossed. See you, Doug
