"An abstract piece of flower! (Astrantia major)" is a macro photo of the heart of a Zeeuws knoopje (Astrantia Major), Because it is an extreme close-up of the heart of the flower, the sprigs in the heart itself look like little flowers! To get an idea of the size of this little scene: this is less than a centimetre in size in reality. But by using an extreme macro lens, it is possible to photograph very small parts, opening up a whole new world! The sharpness of the photo is very low. If you zoom in on the photo, you can see that this is only at one part an the front of the middle "flower". This creates depth in the photo and also a dreamy atmosphere! For me, this work radiates tranquillity. But also a feeling of spring. The fresh pastel colours ensure this. Beautiful for the bedroom, study or waiting room, but of course also just above the couch in the living room ©Marjolijn van den Berg
