"Close-up of a Morning Star with tiny water droplets attached to the fluff" is a photo of a small piece of a fluffy bulb of a Morning Star (Tragopogon). A Morning Star (also called Tragopogon) is a plant similar to a dandelion. They are also related (They both belong to the Composite family). When the flower has finished flowering, a beautiful ball of fluff arises. But the fluff of the Morning Star is different from that of the dandelion. They have a kind of cobweb-like structure, from which beautifully tiny water droplets stick. If you zoom in on the work, you can see this clearly. When making the photo, I chose a shallow depth of field, so that a small part is in focus and everything in front and behind it gradually fades out. This creates depth in the work and adds calm to the image, as the background becomes more blurred.
This work could, for example, hang beautifully as wall decoration in the waiting room, bedroom, hallway or simply above the sofa in the living room! Also beautiful on the wall in a meeting room (business).
