Longwood March 2011: Blue Poppy

My friend Amanda and I made a quick short notice trip to Longwood on Sunday after they announced on their twitter that they had put out some of the Blue Poppies. I was dying to shoot these last year but I never made it while they were out, so I had to make a point to go this year. I didn't really shoot much else (I think I am still burnt out from the last two trips) but I ended up taking quite a few shots of the poppies.

All 5dm2, 100L, a couple I think I used the tubes on, but of course I can't tell which ones.

Tthere are things I see just looking at thses that I would like to change (like on the next to last I wish I hadn't clipped the tip of the leaf), oh well. Nobody is perfect right??
