"Fluff ball of a Morning Star (Tragopogon) with mauve coloured background" is a macro photo of a beautiful, already somewhat woody, Morning Star. This Morning Star (or Tragopogon) is related to the Dandelion. They both belong to the Composite family (Asteraceae). When the flowers have finished flowering, they close and turn into fluffy balls, like this one. The fluff of the Morning Star is quite different from that of a Dandelion, though. The fluff of the Morning Star has a cobweb-like structure. If you zoom in on the photo, you can see this clearly. You can also see the sharpness in this work. The focus is on the heart of the middle fluff. From there, the Morning Star becomes fainter as you move backwards (or forwards). This happens very gradually and creates depth in the work.
A peaceful rural atmosphere with a ball of fluff with a mauve (grey-purple) coloured background.
This work could hang beautifully in the bedroom, dining room or kitchen, for example. But this work will also hang beautifully as wall decoration in business locations such as waiting rooms or meeting rooms.
