Commemorating WW1 and the fallen: 1

Whilst on my wander, last week, and mindful of the 100th anniversary of the beginning of World War 1, the poppies in the wildflower garden at Astley Park became even more relevant and worthy of a capture.

The image is made more powerful by using a selective colour approach to emphasise the flower over a fairly distracting background, as shown in the original crop below it.

I got here through Broken Light - I like seeing the original - your treatment was really very effective!
It didn't hurt that you composed it well, and the in focus/out of focus contrast is nice.
