Purple opium poppy in the evening light is a shot dominated by two colours: Pink and green.
This gives the image a meditative character and conveys a sense of calm in the picture. The edges of the poppy's petals are relatively thin, which is why the light can shine through them very easily and the colours appear paler there. It may be that it is precisely this fact that contributes to the fascination that poppies exert on us.
The picture was deliberately taken with a relatively low level of sharpness so that viewers can concentrate on a few plants and details and a lot of colour as emotional carriers.
The opium poppy (Papaver somniferum) is a plant of the poppy genus (Papaver). It is one of the oldest medicinal plants and is easily recognised by its characteristic petals and capsules. Opium poppy is cultivated in Germany for oil production. Its petals are delicate and it is only on the shady side of the flower that the intense colour is revealed as the sum of all the petals.
The photo was taken with a high-resolution camera and therefore offers very good scope for the selection of different formats and sizes.
