After some inspiration from one of the County Durham guided photographic walks I decided to have a go at taking some flower shots. But to be a little different, take them from underneath. This creates quite a lot of awkward tripod dismantling & reassembly & messing about lying on the ground trying to look into the viewfinder LOL. After being stung a few times by the surrounding thistles etc I arrived at this shot, I hope you like it :))

The flowers are so vividly red that I'm wondering if they were embarrassed by your shooting from below. Your "pains taking" work is much appreciated.
