"A morning star (Tragopogon) with tiny water droplets on its web-like structure" is a macro photo of a piece of a morning star. This is a plant where the flower develops a fluffy ball after flowering. A bit like a dandelion, only the morning star has a different kind of fluff, with a web-like structure. If you zoom in on the photo, this is easy to see.
When taking this photo, I chose a shallow depth of field. This means that only part of the work is in focus and everything in front and behind this plane of focus slowly fades away. Among other things, this creates depth in the work and makes it more "exciting". The sharpness here is at the heart of the fluff that lies in the centre. (The fluff to its left has faded and becomes more abstract, as you can see zoomed in)
A quiet, soft rural scene, which consists mainly of pastel colours.
This work could hang beautifully, for example, as wall decoration in the dining room, kitchen, bedroom or just above the sofa! (Also, of course, beautiful in business spaces such as on the wall in a meeting room, office, waiting room or practice room!)
