This lovely grouping of poppies bloomed in my yard.  I took the picture because they made such a beautiful grouping that I could not resist!  I worked on the image in Photoshop using layers, blending modes and filters.  The image has a painterly texture that was created in Photoshop.  I love poppies and think they are such lovely and graceful flowers.  I entered these in the 2013 Poppies show.
