"Calm in taupe - beige colours: A drop resting on a feather" is a macro photo of a peaceful scene (still life): A droplet resting on a feather.
It is a macro photo in which the depth of field is small, creating a dreamy atmosphere because a small part (e.g. near the drop and the fluffy hairs on the front) is in focus. It creates a minimalist image that exudes tranquillity.
This scene of the feather and droplet is only a few centimetres big in reality!
The brown ( beige - taupe ) tones contribute to a warm radiation. The golden light falling on the feather gives it a warm colour.
The lighting has been chosen in such a way that there is a tension in the photo; despite the tranquillity, there is something dramatic / theatrical in the lighting for me.
This work could, for example, hang beautifully as wall decoration in the waiting room, bedroom, children's room or of course just above the couch in the living room!
