Excellent shot, great perspective! Did you try having the flower in focus and the mountain blurred, to see what it looked like?

@DaveB: maybe having the focus in fore ground is nice too but I liked to focus on the mountain ! thank you very much for visiting .

All of the verticals of this one very red poppy and her friends are pointing toward that majestic mountain's top. And yet there is a cloud covering up there, obscuring the very top from view. I think this adds mystery to majesty and creates an amazing photo image. This is great.

That is one mountain I would love to visit one day. I have heard that it might be one of the last places to find the Caspian Tiger.
