Gone To Seed - re-visite:

Dave -

This is quite interesting, but I confess my ignorance. What sort of plant life is this?

Sorry Leon, I do not know either. I thought the seedhead was a Poppy, it was broken off, and the dead stem beside it looked boring, so I married the two.

Dave,

Great result from a simple subject. Good DOF.

Gone To Seed - re-visited (again):

Dave -

I thought that looked like a poppy but I've never actually seen one - only in photos. But I thought they were a bit illegal to grow here in the US, so I wondered what else it might be.

As for the dead stem, it resembles a weathered pipe, which I suppose would go well with the poppy - I guess.

Interesting, and deceptive, image. I thought it was a tree branch with some large exotic bud, maybe 5-6 inches in diameter. It's also a difficult shot given the wide dynamic range. You've kept most of it in the scale, although I think I might have lightened up the pod just a bit more. Hard to believe it's just a poppy!
