"Pastel colours: Soft pink - beige petals" is a macro photo of beautiful leaves of a plant in Lanzarote. These leaves had fallen off the plant and have already partially decayed. As a result, you can see the beautiful vein structure of the leaves. At the top leaf in the middle, this vein structure is best seen.
The plant from which these petals come is probably the Bougainvillea . This plant has lovely beautifully coloured bracts, these surround the real flowers. These have fallen off the plant with the seeds.
If you zoom in on the photo, you can see that I chose a small depth of field when taking this picture, which means a small part is in focus, and everything in front and behind it gradually fades out. This creates a sense of depth in the work. This setting also gives a somewhat dreamy atmosphere.
This work could hang beautifully as wall decoration (on aluminium or artframe, for example) in the waiting room, bedroom, hallway or simply above the couch in the living room! Also beautiful on the wall in a meeting room (business).
