La légende veut que le coquelicot ait pris sa couleur rouge sur les champs de bataille , j'ai en fait un pastel pour adoucir la légende .
 The legend wants that the poppy took his red color on the battlefields, I have in fact a pastel to soften the legend. Sorry for the bad translation  ♫♫♫ Listen and look at ♫♫♫ Comments  Tender...

Critiques
This photograph represents the heartache and loneliness war can bring, while reinforcing a sense of peace and stillness once the destruction has settled.
Poppies have to be one of my favourite flowers; alongside roses, and I think this breathtaking image has captured so much in such a simple shot.
The airy colours and brightness of the photograph represents a glipse of hope in an almost dreamlike atmosphere. It's so refreshing to see shots like this. The impact this image brings is amazing.
When I think of beauty, I think of this.
Congratulations on such a beautiful shot. I'm so jealous.
The decision to soften the colour of a flower celebrated (for the saddest of reasons) for its redness is a bold one. It reminds us the poppy is a delicate, fragile flower yet a resilient one, the first to reappear on land ravaged for years by war.
The use of a shallow depth of field and the blown highlights fading into the bokeh of the background enhance the sense of hard won peace. The off-centre composition in the square frme adds just enough tension to keep the image from slipping into 'chocolate-box' territory but doesn't spoil the overwhelmingly tranquil feel.
Stunning.
