OK, so here is the first shot I took in this poppy field. It is quite a well known field, and I wanted a magical image capturing a beautiful sky, the sea, cliffs and the flowers - a rare sight! When I got there I found less flowers than expected, and thought most had come and died off due to the poor weather at the time. It took me a while to find this composition, and I ended up waiting for over an hour for the light to be just right 
a nice place for a wait!
Overall I am pleased with this shot, and only wish when I had revisited the location a couple weeks later (see other poppy image) I had more time to set up a shot like this, with more of a foreground interest. What do you think?

In my view a near perfect image. The balance between the foreground poppies and distant view is just right, as is the light and exposure. Lovely top pic, Ian
thank you everyone, I must say I wish I had found this site sooner, it really is great Paul, I don't have one with a single flower, to get the composition I was looking for I had to include a bunch of them, maybe that's one for next year! My only quibble with this is I wish I had got this composition, but two weeks later when all the flowers were in bloom (as in the other shot) However I was massively rushed and couldn't...I did intend to return again, but the weather turned and by the time I got my chance the delicate flowers had been all but ruined by the incessant wind and rain - another lovely English summer
