I worked some more on the stuff from yesterday.

The poppies in this series were shot a little earlier (perhaps half of an hour) and the light was warmer, harder and a trifle richer (there were scudding clouds, which changes the fill from skylight).

One of the things I like about photos (and part of the answer to a friend's question on why I like macro) is they show things which the naked eye misses.
