Well spotted and nicely captured, Rich.
Good composition and colors, and very good control of the light (which I think we all know can be troublesome with indoor shots).
Good one from you too, Lorell. At first I thought the composition was too centered, but realized the diagonal mitigates that. All other aspects are top-notch.
After 90 minutes of digging up weeds and other undesirables in the front yard I knew it was time to give my aching back a break. So I grabbed the camera and looked around for something to shoot. It was windy and I usually don't bother trying to shoot flowers in the wind but decided to give it a try, In the background is an ornamental grass (maybe some sort of feather grass) that moves in the slightest breeze, so I used manual focus, trying to select the poppies. I got lucky - in one of the many shots (thanks Burst Mode) they were reasonably sharp.

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
