Very lovely scene, I am a real lover of poppies. I must say that it looks a bit over-processed, the poppies just don't look quite real, at least to me. Also, what would you think about cropping a bit at the top?

Lovely, indeed.

If I may suggest, I would crop the top 10%, i.e., the lightest strip, and I would slightly lighten up the poppies. The way it is now, the attention quickly moves from the darkish foreground to the lightest top and then... disappears into thin air, so to speak.

 Very lovely shot. I'd also crop it a bit off the top and brighten up the flowers somewhat. I'm not sure what "real" poppies are but these look good to me.

Excellent suggestions. Cropping should be done at the top to tighten the image. Probably going to print this!

Yes, crop a bit on the top. I like the poppies as they are, real or not.

Fantastic but I must agree about the top of the frame.

Very nice, a little of the top and it is there.
