"Natural calm: Shining in the light" is a macro photo of a small piece of a Tragopogon (Morning Star). In this photo, you can see a piece of fluff attached to the fluffy bulb of this flower (Tragopogon). Very small water droplets hang from the fluffy bulb. As the light falls beautifully on these fuzzies, some of the droplets create sparkles. A play of light and dark that feels very natural and creates a peaceful atmosphere. If you zoom in on the work, you can see that I chose a shallow depth of field. The focus is on the drops on the stalk in the middle. Everything in that plane is sharp, and from there everything in front and behind gradually fades away. This gives a very calm effect in this photo I think. In addition, this also creates a sense of depth in the work and really puts the focus on the little piece of fluff that is in the middle. If you look closely at the droplets on the stalk, you see that you can see the fluff of the fluff ball back in the droplet!
This work could, for example, beautifully hang as a wall decoration in the bedroom, waiting room, hall or of course just above the sofa!
