Flowing Silk Linens

This is a simple, yet elegant, poppy bloom from the flower bed near our back door.  The petals reminded me of linens on a clothes line, flowing under the influence of a warm summer breeze.

It’s original color was the typical poppy red, but I decided to process it as a monochrome image. I love the subtle variations in tone and texture that are not as noticeable with the color version.
