Was getting something done at a garage near Cambridge airport and I knew it would take about an hour. So, I took a camera with me - actually I was hoping to see some aircraft. No such luck.... I was too early.

But I found these by a fence.

Thanks for looking.

Cool shot. Cambridge airport is an odd one. I was waiting for an aircraft to fly out with the camera a while back when my brother was at a football match next to the airport then out of the blue a 757/767/777 Emerges from the trees with a huge roar! :lol:

Really nice shot, sort of thing a lot of people would just walk past without noticing.

I think the only thing I would do is sharpen the edges. That will make it a tad crisp and make it more vibrant. :)

I left my original comment, but I take it back. After looking at this image on my ''calibrated'' monitor, I must say that
it is a fine image. :)

very nice, I wouldn't change a thing, I like it just as it is.

I'm intending to get out for a few poppy shots this weekend.

Thanks.... I was trying out my new camera. So, I was really pleased when I got these results. And my back /shoulder wasn't sore.

NO ..... I'm NOT selling the Nikon kit! :naughty:

Very nice indeed-and if your wondering they look like oriental poppies to me

Thanks .... as a matter of interest, they were at the East side of Cambridge! So, you must be right.

Saw a whole field, today, of white poppies (I think) just by Boscombe Down along the A303 if anybody is interested

Noted! I wasn't too certain how I could improve it based on your previous opinion. 'cept I could use my D300, 105mm Micro and a tripod ..... :lol:

Thanks for taking the trouble to revisit it, much appreciated.
