"Natural Shades of Brown: Feathers of a guinea fowl" is a macro photo of some feathers of a guinea fowl. The feathers of a guinea fowl are brown, grey, black and white/cream in colour and have beautiful markings/patterns.
When shooting, I chose the depth of field so that a small part is razor-sharp. (If you zoom in, you can see this clearly). From that point on, everything in front and behind it decreases in sharpness and becomes blurrier, more abstract.
Besides the depth this creates, it also creates a dreamlike atmosphere.
The soothing feathers and natural brown tones give this work a peaceful feel, despite the patterns. Feels natural and rural to me. Dreamy and peaceful without being boring!
This work could, for example, hang beautifully as wall decoration in the waiting room, bedroom, dining room or, of course, just above the couch in the living room!
