"Natural peace: Still life of Hydrangea leaves" is a macro photo I took of a set of Hydrangea leaves still attached to each other by a small twig. These leaves have been sun-dried and are already slowly decaying. The leaf has become so thin that the light partly gets through it, making the beautiful grain structure of the leaf easy to see. If you zoom in on the photo, you can see this beautifully. You can also see that I chose a relatively shallow depth of field when taking this photo. This means that from the point of focus, everything in front of and behind it gradually fades away. This gives a sense of depth in the photo, as the parts behind seem to feel further away.
The set of leaves lies on a surface that is reflective and textured at the same time. This creates an abstract reflection.
This picture could, for example, hang beautifully as a wall decoration in the bedroom, dining room or simply above the sofa! Of course, also beautiful in business locations such as on the wall in a meeting room, office, waiting room or practice room)!
