"Abstract reflection: A still life of a little flower of a Zeeuws Knoopje" is a macro photo of just a small flower of a Zeeuws Knoopje. This little flower is cream - white in colour with olive green and pink details.
Because the surface on which the little flower lies is reflective and textured at the same time, an abstract painterly mirror image is created.
The depth of field in this photo is quite small. I chose this to create a sense of depth in the photo. The focus is on the front "mini flowers" (actually these are not flowers but the stamens I think). The further back you go, the fainter the flower becomes. This photo has a dreamy, calm, elegant but also mysterious feel to it.
This still life of a beautiful flower could hang beautifully in the bedroom, waiting room, dining room or just above the dresser in the living room, for example!
