"Orange!.... with a lantern" is a macro photo of a lantern of the lantern plant that has almost decayed. This allows you to nicely see the vein structure that remains. The lantern lies on a reflective/mirror surface, so you can see a mirror image of the lantern in the ground plane. The background is orange! This gives it a cheerful look.
The focus is on the front of the lantern, here the grain structure can be seen very sharply. To keep the image calm, I chose a shallow depth of field so the back of the lantern is blurred, creating depth in the work. If you zoom in on the lantern, you can see this clearly.
This work could hang beautifully as a wall decoration in the bedroom, kitchen, hall or just above the sofa! Also beautiful in business locations such as on the wall in a meeting room, office waiting room or practice room!
