Nice shot. I'm not sure if you could have sqeezed in closer to take out the gardening structure off on the right and thus just let us see flowers and possible the fence in the backround. Incidnetally, the seed heads on the poppies are a dead giveway that they are NOT California poppies whose seed heads are long and pop open on warm days spreading seeds for feet in all directions. The seed heads on these plants are cuplike with a distinctive "cap" on the top where seeds can be shaken out. In other words these papavers and not california poppies.
