"Abstract: Soft pastel-coloured fluff with tiny water droplets" is an (extreme) macro photograph of a piece of a dandelion's fluff. Small water droplets hang from the fluffy hairs.
The depth of field is very shallow (just a few millimetres of some of the fluffy hairs and droplets). This creates a calm, dreamy atmosphere and also a sense of depth in the work. The droplets also help to create this dreamy atmosphere; they reflect the light and this creates sparkles on the droplets. The focal point is on (and partly at the back) of the middle point. The sharpness decreases towards the sides.
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, can you see the "little hooks" attached to the hairs of the lint?
Great as a wall decoration for the waiting room, bedroom, hallway or simply above the sofa in the living room!
Also beautiful on the wall in a meeting room ( business)
