"A piece of a dandelion" is a macro photo of some fluff attached to a fluff ball of a dandelion. Droplets hang and lie on and from these fluffy balls. A soothing image that appears soft. You look through the fluff to the fluff behind it. The colours also help to create this tranquillity: Mainly pastel colours: very light blue, light grey, cream, white and beige. Because a shallow depth of field was chosen, only a small part of the drops and fluff are in focus. This softens the image and gives it a dreamy, calm look. It also creates a sense of depth in the work. The further a drop or fluff is from the focus point, the fainter it becomes. In this photo, the focal point is at the point where the stalk turns into the fluffy part. Beautiful for example above your desk in the study, in the waiting room as wall decoration or in the dining room/kitchen. Or of course above the sofa in the living room ©Marjolijn van den Berg
