About the artwork

"Abstract: A Collection of Old Pink Drops" is an extreme macro photograph of colored (old pink) water drops on a fluff of a dandelion photographed from diagonally below. In the background you can vaguely see more fluff with pink drops. This edited photo has mainly old-pink and brown-gray tones .

The depth of field is very shallow, (only a few millimeters from the front fluff with droplets) this creates not only a dreamy atmosphere but also a sense of depth in the work.
The droplets also cooperate to create this dreamy atmosphere, they reflect the light and this creates sparkles between the fluff of the dandelion.

This photo was taken with a more extreme macro lens than is normally used. This magnifies the subject even more and you start to see elements you had probably never seen before: "The wonderful world of extreme macro photography." For example, do you see the "little hooks" attached to the hairs of the lint?
This sounds easier than it is: Because you are only photographing such a small piece, any movement you make will show up immediately in your photo. In addition, the light and very limited sharpness are also a challenge! But after a lot of patience, a lot of practice, trial and error and keep going, you also get something unique!
