"Abstraction: Close-up of the golden fluff of a Tragopogon" is a photo I took of a very small piece of a beautiful large fluffy ball of a Tragopogon. These fluff balls were all wide open and ready to fly out (or actually float out).
The structure of a Tragopogon (In the Netherlands, this plant is also called Morgenster) can be clearly seen in this photo. The fluffy bulb of a Morgenster initially reminds you of the fluffy bulb of a Paardenbloem (It is also related to each other). But once you zoom in on the structure of the fluff of the Morning Star, it is completely different from that of a Dandelion. They look like spider webs. The golden-brown head bands in the fluff hold the white fine threads in place. If you zoom in on the photo, you can see this nicely.
Because I chose a fairly shallow depth of field when taking this photo, only a very small part is in focus. This, I think, gives a nice effect. It looks like it keeps switching between reality and abstraction.
This photo could, for example, hang beautifully as a wall decoration in the bedroom, hallway, dining room or just above the sofa! (Of course, also stunning in business locations such as on the wall in a meeting room, waiting room or practice room!)
