This wonderful display of wild poppy was taken on April 1, 2011. Location is less than a mile from Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve. There were not many poppy flowers in the reserve itself, many visitors and I left disappointed; very fitting on an April Fool's Day. But I spotted this patch from a high point, then found my way there by remembering shapes and colors of nearby hills.Labels: California Poppy Flower

Something went awry with the color balance on this. I have fiddled around with it, but have not been able to come up with a satisfactory result (to my eyes). What do you think of the color/tones?
I may start over from the original RAW file and give it another go tonight.

Hey Warren, Nice composition. I think the color balance is fine, perhaps you could address the blown highlights in the flowers and that would give some more richness to the subject. For me the bigger issue in this image is the flare over the tree.

Good eyes on the flare! I did not notice it at all :P.
