    Probably an overused subject, but recently there was what appeared to be a plague of poppies in the east of England. On my way to work was a huge field, and I couldn't resist stopping for a few pictures. (As did many people; almost every day there was someone stopped taking pictures.)

    Hope you enjoy. Any criticism welcomed, of course!



    Using the Sony DSC-P10.

    Cheers

    Great shot Haydn, I was over doncaster way earlier in the year and came across a huge poppy field - and was wondering why and if it was some way of replenishing the nitrogen in the soil or something after years of growing rape seed - wish I knew.

    I posted mine here http://www.photoforum.com/index.php?showto...amp;#entry67927
