"Pastel: The flowers in the heart of an Astrantia major" is a minimalist macro photo of the heart of a Zeeland knot (Astrantia Major), in which the depth of field has been chosen to create an abstract image, in which you only see the tiny "flowers" in the middle appearing to emerge from the flower. To get an idea of the size of this scene: this is only one or two centimetres in size. But by using an extreme macro lens, it is possible to photograph very small parts, opening up a whole new world! The sharpness of the photo is low. If you zoom in on the photo, you will see that this is only at a few "flowers". This creates depth in the photo and also a dreamy atmosphere! Beautiful for in the bedroom, study or waiting room, but of course also just above the couch in the living room ©Marjolijn van den Berg
