One In A Million

I shot this recently whilst walking through fields on the outskirts of Northallerton.

Submitted for this week's Sunday Challenge, which had the theme of 1 or 3 or 5 of something and left us wide open as far as subject and processing was concerned.

Cropped widescreen to try and emphasise the solitary nature of the single poppy in what I believe was a field of wheat or barley.

View large for best effect.

Very beautiful! That was a nice idea to crop it to a widescreen dimension so as to spotlight the lone flower.

Well, everyone's taken used up all the really good compliments (and I totally agree with them) so I will just say the I really like how you use the word "whilst" in your writing. It harkens me back to an earlier time and is really charming Paul.
