I'm liking the dof and the colors are very interesting. Not simple at all (as some would have you think).

Simple, but draws the viewer. One of my favorites. Very underrated.

I really like how you managed to isolate one from the herd. They're hard to separate out... :-)

Splendidly how solitary orange flower contrasts against the gentle greenness of the plant.

Beautiful picture. I especially love the texture of the grasses around this poppy, fading between completely out of focus and in focus.
I do think the lighting on the flower might be a bit too bright. Slightly softer lighting (not too much of course, to not lose the contrast) and maybe zooming in a tad more, would give the flower a greater impact.
Great job.

Compelling. I found the blobs out of focus on the foreground distracted me a little bit.

A really lovely image - the orange is so striking because of the pale (desaturated?) green.
