A photo art study of a group of red poppies and seed pods, poppies in waiting. What I liked about this scene, when I took the photograph on which it is based, is the way the stems with the buds are almost wire-like as they sinew around the flowers. I feel it gives the piece a sense of movement. These poppies, papaver rhoeas, are right on the edge of some grassland so the stems with the seed pods are very visible as they hang out into space. Normally they would be lost in the tall grass.
