"Natural serenity: Close-up of fluffy ball of a Tragopogon" is a macro photo of a piece of a large fluffy ball of a Tragopogon. On this fluff ball are very small water droplets. Through these water droplets, the beautiful structure of these fluffy balls becomes beautifully visible. If you zoom in on this photo, you can see it beautifully.
A Tragopogon is related to the common dandelion. After the flower has finished flowering, it turns into a ball of fluff. The seeds are attached to the fluff, which has a cobweb-like structure. This allows the wind to easily carry and disperse the seeds.
When taking this picture, I chose a shallow depth of field. As a result, the part where the focus is on (the heart of the fluff on the left) is razor-sharp and the more you look backwards and forwards, the more the focus gradually decreases. This creates a sense of depth and calm in the work.
This ball of fluff can hang beautifully (on Aluminium or ArtFrame, for example) in the bedroom, kitchen, dining room or above the sofa in the living room!
