"Close-up of a fluff ball" is a macro photo of a fluff ball of a Morning Star (Tragopogon). Like the dandelion, a Morning Star belongs to the Composite family (also called Asteraceae). In these plants, the flower turns into a ball of fluff after flowering. However, the fluff of the Tragopogon is different from that of a dandelion. In terms of fluff, they resemble a spider's web suspended between a number of wood-coloured "spokes". These are attached to the stalk containing the seed, which is dispersed by the wind.
If you zoom in on the work, you can clearly see that the sharpness is at the centre of the middle fluff. From dar point, the sharpness slowly and gradually decreases towards the back (and forward), creating a sense of depth in the work.
This work can hang beautifully, for example, as wall decoration in the living room, bedroom or dining room. This work will also look great in business spaces such as the waiting room or meeting room!
