Wow, what an interesting structure and I like the lighting. It almost looks like the moon behind.

Nice way to see it Pete, thanks. Of course i know what it is , your interpretation by far, improves it. I did wonder when first developing this, and realised it was stronger with the moon than without.

Love the beauty and a terrific example of photography becoming art

Superb Julian, very scifi nice use of lighting to create the light/dark background. I'm sure without the 'moon' itwould have less impact. All in all I like it

Peter it was the Oly 75 f1.8 with extension tube. I almost always have the tripod with me. In a garden I have it attached all the time. A small light Manfrotto, 732CY , I paid £60 at my local shop, without a head. It is wonderful, not for windy days or heavy MF cameras, but is OK with the 5Djust and especially the M4/3 cameras. I rarely use the tripod at eye height, preferring to use a tripod at all times. To this day it always surprises me the difference in view of the world when the camera is shooting from a position of a lower height than our eye. Often I look at live view and it is not what I am seeing from my position. I then reminds me to look more closely at alternative perspectives.

I have tried to photograph these before but never realised they were poppys. The tones and sun-kist-like glow on the poppy is wonderful Julian.
