Poppy colours

Nature's own watercolour, the heart of a poppy flower just unfolded (bought a pot of these yesterday as my own seedlings are so far nowhere to be seen). There was some fiddling in PS Elements but in the end I did return to something as close as possible to the original (see the extra for the original)
For today's Abstract Thursday with its optional theme of 'natural'.
Please tag your entries with AT205 :-)

Thanks very much for the visits, kind comments and stars for yesterday's Blip
