i love the red of the popppies against the blue blue skies................it might have been shot a thousand time before but there is a reason for this.........the contrast of the colours are great....nice work!
I never did anything with this DMC-TZ4 shot. But your love for poppies inspired me to try this JPG original processed with DxO Optics Pro 6, with a bit of Highlight/Midtone/Shadow and Unsharp Masking done in PaintShop Pro 9. I hope that you will forgive that it was not taken with a Ricoh - but instead with my Panasonic TZ4.
