"Peace and tranquillity in natural soft gold and beige tones: A lantern after the rain" is a macro photo of a lantern plant that is already almost digested. The skeleton of the veins can be seen beautifully as a result. On the gold - silver beige coloured background, the reflection of the lantern can be seen. Among other things, the natural colours give it a peaceful look. The drops create a special effect, reflecting the light.
When taking this photo, I chose a shallow depth of field. If you zoom in on the work, you can see that the vein structure in front of the berry in the lantern is razor-sharp. From this part, the sharpness decreases towards the foreground and background. This creates depth in the work, and also creates a kind of dreamy atmosphere.
The colours remind me of some old-fashioned (vintage) colours and autumn: light brown tones (beige, taupe ) are the most common colours in the picture.
Beautiful as a wall decoration for the living room above the sofa! (but can of course shine just as well in a waiting room, practice room, study or bedroom).
