I love the color and composition of this photo. Although you say it is "not creative" it still stands out as a beautiful capture. Nice shot.

Thank you very much for all the wonderful comments. Out of about 300 photos I was able to get about 3 good shots. This is a great year for the California Poppies because of the amount of rain the desert received this winter. They are abundant through out the Antelope Valley. I use a Pentax K100, 6 mp, 28-300 Tamron lens. It was set at 300mm, 1/2500, F6.3, ISO 400. I cropped and Sharpened once in PhotoShop. I did not enhance the colors.

Assignment: Spring

In Southern Ontario, nothing says spring like Maple Syrup...of course, this is a bit before the actual syrup stage...
