Parent and child Photo

Photographer’s Note

This blossoming poppy and the bud on the right seem to me like a parent (the bud) and a child (the poppy) where the child is slowly maturing towards the bud. You can see the core of the child aready losing its hair (?) as a next step towards becoming a bud.
The structure of the poppy looks like paper.
Cropping and levels were postprocessed.

Nice image Jan. I enjoyed the soft out of focus green background setting of the vivid red. Well done.

Interesting photo!
It's obvious that its best quality is softness of reds on the bed of fresh green. Also, the poppie's petal structure ads to the feeling of tenderness of that vulnerable flower.
Well done, Jan!
