About the artwork

"Abstract: Brown, gray and white (fluff with droplets)" is a macro photograph of a few fluffy pieces of a dandelion lint ball.
The surface (background ), like the fluff, is dotted with water droplets These droplets create distorted reflections and create a beautiful abstract pattern, consisting mainly of brown (beige), gray and white (cream) tones.

This work has a very bizarre, but also a dreamy atmosphere. The background seems almost industrial although the fluff feels very natural and more rural. There is also a sense of depth to the work. This is because I chose a shallow depth of field in this photograph.
The focal point is at the part where the stalk turns into the fluff. The droplets also help to create this dreamy atmosphere, they reflect the light and this creates sparkles on the droplets.

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:For example, see the "little hooks" attached to the hairs of the fluff? "The wonderful world of extreme macro photography".
Among other things, this work could look good in a country or basic living style.
Great as a wall decoration for the waiting room, bedroom, hallway or just above the couch in the living room!
Also beautiful on the wall in a meeting room ( business)
