Oh duh! I just realized these are ceramics given your description! I've wondered how in the world the developers of this installation had been able to keep the poppies alive! Anyway, it's a wonderful capture, beautiful architectural shot, and lovely scene.
Great shot. And I had not given much thought to the nature of the poppies in other shots I'd seen. Glad to know they are ceramics so the piece can be enjoyed for longer than the space of time real poppies would last!
I've still not had the time to go and see this, but every image I've seen is different not only due to the photographer's interpretation but because the installation is changing by the day. Great piece of record photography.
