"Rural panorama: Golden brown fluff with turquoise" is a photo I took of fluff from a Tragopogon (this plant is also called Morgenster in the Netherlands). Very small water droplets hang from this fluff. This gives a nice effect to the photo because the drops sometimes enlarge or reduce the underlying image. If you zoom in on the work, you can see this very well.
Because of the settings I made on my camera, the depth of field is shallow. This means that the front of the front centre fluff is largely in focus, and everything behind it (and in front of it) gradually fades away. I did this for several reasons. Firstly, to get a sense of depth in the work. Secondly, to create a bit more calm in the image. Because not everything is sharp, attention falls on the sharp front fluff. The background attracts less attention, creating a kind of calmness in the image.
This work could hang beautifully above a sofa or bed because of its panoramic proportions!
