Photographer’s Note
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
by Major John McCrae
Canadian Officer

Shalom, Assi -
Beautiful control of depth of field - everything is soft except the element of interest. Colors are excellently managed, too.
I wonder, is this the same as the Flanders poppy that one sees all over France?

Une agréable image, très printanière, très bien composée.
Amicalement

A real macro lens will make the background more out of focus and it will be a masterpice work.
