This was an interesting shoot. There was lots of light coming in from behind the poppies, so since I was wearing a black shirt, I decided to stand behind the flowers as a black back drop. Having the black background helps the viewer focus directly on the flower itself, rather than get distracted by objects blurred in the background.

Love this picture of your poppy! The background really does it, thanks for the trick! :)
